Negligible Value Claim in Respect of Shares Questions

Postby curiouslady » Fri Sep 25, 2020 8:47 pm

Hi,
Can anyone please advise with regards to a few questions to know if I qualify for negligible value claim in respect of shares against income tax. Any advise/clarity on this very much appreciated.

I bought some shares using my shares ISA in a UK company that traded on NYSE at about $3, but the company filed for chapter 11 and are currently trading under OTC for 0.08cents. Can I claim for a loss for this?
Also not clear on what determines "qualifying trading company." Or can I claim for my loss through any other avenue?

Any advise greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

An ISA is outside the the scope of CGT. You don’t pay tax on gains, but conversely there is no relief for losses.

Thank for your reply bd6759.
So outside CGT relief on losses, is there any other way i can get a relief on this?

Thank you.

As bd6759 says, there is no relief for ISA losses.
With a pinch of salt take what I say, but don't exceed your RDA
