Do I need to file a tax form

[dotto]

I sold a property 2007-2008 which had been rented out. This was sold at a loss because of last year's flooding. March 2008 I sold half of another property I rent out in order to take advantage of taper relief and also to claim the loss on the first property against the gain on the second property. My calculations have resulted in there being no capital gains tax due. Do I still need to complete and submit a capital gains tax form to the Inland Revenue notifying them of my calculations.

Thankk you for any advice you can offer.

I assume that half a property being sold would be to a connected party of yours e.g. partner or lineal descendant or ancestor and you would be safest to file one. You would be required to file a form if the sale proceeds were over about £34K anyway.
