Entering a loss on Form CG1

[Zion2022]

Quite a specific query.

I crystallised capital gains in the early part of 2022. As required I paid CGT before the January deadline.

I then crystallised some losses in December which has a different payment date.

I am trying to understand how I should complete form CG1 to claim a refund for the tax paid based on losses in December.

Line 21 covers Jan - November which I can fill out as normal

Line 22 covers December only but only allows you to enter gains, not losses.

If I can’t put the losses into line 22 then the totals between line 21 and 22 won’t equal the total gain in the year in line 16 which is the aggregated view.

Any help much appreciated as revenue are not responding.

You can just put in 0 for gains in December and the return should still process properly as far as I know.

BTW, the payment date for gains from January to November is December 15th not January.

Thanks, I’ll give that a go and see how I get on. And yes, my mistake on deadline. Paid in advance of the December deadline so all good.
Much appreciated.
