PM193000 - Calculation of limit relief: £25,000 annual limit

S103C Income Tax Act 2007

For losses sustained on or after 2 March 2007 there is an annual limit of £25,000 on the amount of losses for which sideways loss relief can be claimed by affected partners. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp annual limit is applied after other restrictions (see PM192000) have been calculated.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp annual limit does not apply to trading losses derived from carrying on a Lloyds underwriting business. It also does not apply to losses derived from qualifying film expenditure (see PM192000).

Partners affected

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp £25,000 annual limit applies to losses made by:

  • limited partners,
  • non-active general partners,
  • non-active LLP members.

No restriction of reliefs against income of the same trade

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp legislation restricts relief against income from other sources. It does not restrict relief against income derived from the same trade, whether of earlier or later years. Where relief from a trading loss is given against general income of another tax year, which includes both trading income and non-trading income, relief is deemed to be given first against trading income from the same trade.
