my mrs does a tax return as she does a few little bits of freelance work on top of her regular PAYE job
i stick to ISA to avoid all the hassle of tax returns... although they are very easy to do apparently and if you are in plenty of time the tax people very helpful and guide you through
if it was enough of a loss you might of got a rebate or tax code adjustment
so actually you could fill in a tax return for the loss
but HL waive the dealing charges to keep your business
if you generate a capital gain, you have to pay tax
Our Bed & ISA and Bed & SIPP service allows you to sell your shares free of charge and use the proceeds to open, or top up, an ISA or SIPP. You can then immediately buy the same shares back, choose another investment or hold cash. Please note the sale could generate a capital gain
okay, think you only have to declare cash 'income' from your share account... so cash in the account is okay, but any profits or income drawn out.
