Online Form 11 - CGT section - help needed with error

[jaykayphd]

Hi

Maybe someone can help me

I had a small gain on selling some shares in 2019, so I entered the value of the sale under details of assets disposed.

I entered the chargeable gain under the relevant section and my unused losses from prior years also in their relevant section.

Then I entered '0' under 'net chargeable gains' as carried forward losses exceeded the chargeable gain.

I then receive the following error......Amount here must equal "Chargeable gain(s) (excluding foreign life policies) net of current year losses and S 604A and 604B relief" plus "Rolled over gains", minus "unused losses from prior year" and "personal exemption".

Could anyone point out my mistake?

Thanks

you said the losses exceeded the gains, you may need to enter the exact amount of losses you need to offset the gains so that the totals add up to exactly zero for the chargeable gains. I had some issues with this before until I made everything add up exactly.

Many thanks, that did the trick!
