Restriction on loss relief and illustration
You'll learn how the restriction on trade loss relief works and when it applies to your tax calculations. This restriction limits how much of a trade loss you can offset against non-trade income (like employment or property income), capping relief at the greater of £50,000 or 25% of your adjusted total income.

About this lesson
The key principle is that trade losses can be offset without restriction against trade income, but face a cap when used against other income sources. Through a worked example, you'll see how to claim loss relief across current and prior years while respecting these restrictions, and how to calculate what loss remains to carry forward.
