(1)A person may make a loss relief claim if —
(a)in any year of assessment he sustains a loss in any transaction (whether he was engaged in it solely or in partnership), and
(b)the transaction is of such a nature that, if any profits or other income had arisen from it, he would have been liable to be assessed to income tax in respect of the income under or by virtue of any provision to which section 836B applies.
(2)A loss relief claim is a claim requiring—
(a)that the amount of the loss sustained by him is, as far as may be, to be deducted from or set off against the total of the amount of any profits or other income or gains arising from any transaction in respect of which he is assessed for that year under or by virtue of any such provision, and
(b)that any portion of the loss for which relief is not so given is, as far as may be, to be carried forward and deducted from or set off against the total of the amount of any profits or other income or gains arising from any transaction in respect of which he is assessed for a subsequent year of assessment under or by virtue of any such provision.
(3)If a partner in a partnership sustains a loss, the expression “the amount of any profits or other income or gains arising from any transaction in respect of which he is assessed” is to be read in accordance with subsection (4).
(4)In respect of any year that expression means such portion of the amount on which the partnership is assessed under or by virtue of any provision to which section 836B applies in respect of any transaction as falls to be taken into account in computing the partner's total income for that year.
(5)Any relief under this section by way of the carrying forward of the loss is to be given as far as possible—
(a)from the first subsequent assessment in respect of any profits or other income or gains arising from any transaction in respect of which he is assessed under or by virtue of any provision to which section 836B applies for any year, and
(b)so far as it cannot be so given, from the next such assessment, and so on.
(6)So far as a loss relief claim concerns the amount of the loss for any year of assessment it must be made on or before the fifth anniversary of the 31st January next following the year of assessment in question.
(7)But the question whether and, if so, how much relief on that amount should be given under this section against tax for any year of assessment may be the subject of a separate claim made on or before the fifth anniversary of the 31st January next following that year of assessment.
(8)Any portion of a loss sustained by any person in any transaction (whether he was engaged in it solely or in partnership)—
(a)which was of such a nature that, if any profits had arisen from it, he would have been liable to be assessed to income tax in respect of the profits under Case VI of Schedule D for any year of assessment before the year 2005-06, and
(b)which did not fall within section 34, 35 or 36,
is (so far as relief for that portion has not previously been given) to be treated as a loss to be carried forward and deducted in accordance with subsection (2)(b) above.]
