I have a client which is a partnership and they are cash based.
Last year they had a lost, this year a profit.
Can I carry the loss forward to use in this years self assessment? (I was under the impression that if you were cash based you could not use the previous years loss)
I have completed the partnership statement and entered the separate self assessments but I seem unable to include last years loss.
So they think you can. You think they cannot.
So shouldnt you be checking the legislation rather than getting advice from an internet forum? By all means, come back on if you dont understand a part of said legislation, with appropriate source material, as lets face it, you should be putting such in your correspondence back to your client in the event of any future disagreements.
I have been checking legislation and finding it confusing and this is why I have come to the forum to double check using experience of people like yourself.
1) Quote and link to the legislation you have been looking at and provide some commentary.
2) Remember your ethics. As a member of the AAT, if you dont know what you are doing, you shouldnt be doing it. Plus will you be covered by PII if you are advising when you dont know?
3) You wish me to advise. I can, although normally I charge for such, Im prepared to help, but Im not prepared to spoon feed.
4) Do you not have access to the AAT tax helpline?
