Hello
I let out a flat I used to live in for roughly the 2015/16 tax year. I submitted returns for the 2014/15 year (as the tenancy started in this year) and have done ever since. Every year I have made a substantial loss for different reasons, except for 2015/16 when I had to pay against the profit I had made. My issue is that I have made losses ever since, not had any tenant in place because the first set were dreadful, and so decided I won't let the flat out again. I'll instead sell it as soon as possible (Brexit uncertainty is making this difficult).
Is there any way I can claim the tax payment from 2015/16 back, as it was a substantial amount of money and the losses since more than outweigh it? Perhaps through amending the 2016/17 return before the 31st this month?
Or should I just submit another return up to the point it was no longer available for rent? My understanding is that I can only roll forward the losses and use them either against profits from another rental property in my name or against capital gains tax?
Please let me know what you think I can do!
Many thanks
