Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules for setting off various types of losses against income in the UK. Generally, losses from house property can be set off against other income up to £200,000, with the remainder carried forward. Business losses (excluding speculation) can be set off against other business income. Speculative business losses and losses from card games or maintenance/owning resources can only be set off against income from the same source. The carry-forward period for most losses is 8 years, though some specific business losses have shorter periods.

Except 5 , all are correct..

Try to correct that.

Sir could you please tell me what is the mistake because I don't know

First you have to clarify that the sale of share is under capital gain or business head. If business then speculative or non speculative. After the segregation rules should be applied as said above.

Sale of shares under short capital means we can set up against both short term loss and a long term loss ( Iam I correct)



carry forward of losses for speculation business and some special business mentioned 35ad and maintenance of owning and race horse
(this carry forward losses for 4 assessment years we can carry forward ) IAM I correct

plse check

1. Correct..

2. Yes, Correct...
