  • Optimising losses...on stocks and shares

    Hello, (1st question) I am of the understanding that capital gains does not need to be submitted/reported if under the capital gains allowance year - can you confirm if this is correct? i.e. if I made 1k gbp last year, I do not need to formally submit this gain with HMRC? (2nd question) Assuming the above is true, I would like to ask if I can operate as follows: - 2021/22 tax year: +2k gbp capital gain (i.e. within the allowance, therefore not necessary to file/submit under self assessment) - 2022/23 tax year: +1k gbp capital gain (i.e. within the allowance, therefore not necessary to file/submit under self assessment) - 2023/24 tax year: -20k gbp capital losses. Given the significant loss, I submit a self assessment reporting -20k gbp, therefore, I am able to use this 20k of losses to offset any future capital gains, naturally this offset precedes any applicable of the capital gain allowance for that year. Can you confirm?
  • Miscalculation - Tax calculation

    Hi, If I made 10k gbp 8 years ago but did not file self assessment then as I had thought it was offset against sufficient losses (now realising I made losses in different tax year), and now realising this now, how much is the penalty fees that would be charged against me? How do I calculate this? This would be my first time ever filing a self assessment as I had always thought I was in -ve/losses. Thanks
