Shares loss

in Cutting tax
If I made a loss on a share sale of £500 (on a UK business listed on the FTSE), would I be able to record it as an income tax loss on my self assessment submission? I thought not as the shares were issued after 6/4/98, and on a recognised stock exchange but I just wanted to double check.

Capital Gains tax loss maybe, nothing to do with income tax.The only thing that is constant is change.0 -
So personal tax allowance and CGT are separate allowances?0

Ah.... yes they are, I've worked it out now. No need to reply

You can carry the loss forward but you have to use it against future profits before you use the CGT exempt amount.The only thing that is constant is change.0
