CFD Capital Loss Return

Postby Mike47 » Thu Jan 08, 2026 4:17 pm

Hello Everyone:

Firstly, I am grateful for the selfless people helping us with these convoluted taxation matters.

I want to file my self assessment; primarily to report the Capital Loss made with CFDs.
  • I had made a loss of GBP 700/- on a portfolio of GBP 2000/- with Gold CFDs.
    The loss was made over the course of multiple small cap transactions over the last fiscal year.
Just needed a few clarifications are needed with regards to the questions on the return itself:
Did you dispose of chargeable assets worth more than GBP49,000?
Should we answer "yes" if the sum aggregate of all CFD transactions is greater than this amount? Or Can we say "No" given that no single transaction was over this amount?
You must provide a Capital Gain Computation for each disposal of an asset which is not an exempt asset.
There were numerous small CFD transactions; would each of the transaction need to be computed individually?
Complete one worksheet for each asset disposed of (maximum of 20 worksheets). ...
If the transactions are more than 20 then how to we group them together?

I was expecting a SA108 style summary where I could sum all the transactions together, and then provide with supporting documentation from the broker for the transactions. But I believe SA108 is when filing a paper return.

If someone could point me to a helpful help-sheet, I would be grateful.

Lastly, I cannot express my gratitude for the amazing people helping us!

Thank you.
