(1)A person may make a claim under this section if—

(a)relief is available to the person as mentioned in subsection (1)(a) for a tax year in relation to an amount of loss, but

(b)the person's total income for the tax year is nil or does not include any income from which the amount can be deducted.

(3)A claim under this section is for determining so much of the amount of the loss (“the relevant amount”) as—

(7)The amount treated as an allowable loss under this section—

(a)is no longer to be regarded as an amount available for income tax relief, and

(8)A claim under this section must be made on or before the first anniversary of the normal self-assessment filing date for the tax year in which the loss was made in the trade, profession, vocation, employment or office.

(a)which occurs after the date on which the relevant amount (see section 261B(3)) can no longer be varied by the Commissioners on appeal or on the order of a court, and

(a)relief is available to the person as mentioned in subsection (1)(a) for a tax year in relation to an amount, but

(b)the person's total income for the tax year is nil.

(3)A claim under this section is for treating for the purposes of capital gains tax so much of the amount as is not deducted in calculating the person's net income for the tax year (“the relevant amount”) as an allowable loss accruing to the person in the year of assessment corresponding to the tax year.

(5)The relevant amount is no longer to be regarded as an amount available for income tax relief.

(6)A claim under this section must be made on or before the first anniversary of the normal self-assessment filing date for the tax year mentioned in subsection (1) or (2) (as the case may be).
