Expenses offset against CGT

Postby Catkin23 » Wed Jul 31, 2024 4:33 pm

Hi All,

Would it be possible to answer a question I have please? I have been registered as self employed via self assessment and have been paying capital gains tax on the sale of my asset's (stocks and shares) for a number of years. I have not registered a business, a sole trader or limited company but wish to purchase items in relation to my self employment. Can I claim the cost of these items against the capital gains tax I pay on the profit I make from the sale of my stocks and shares without registering as a sole trader etc?

Afraid not Cost of buying items for your self employment can only go against the income from your self employment
regards and hope this helps

Ok, thank you for your advice. If I registered a business as an investor or trader then would I be able to claim expenses from the profit I made from my stocks and shares?
