Q: I paid a large amount of tax in my previous employment (PAYE), in this financial year. Can I offset this against losses from my new business?

Answered by: Clive Lewis     Ask a question

If the new business is unincorporated (i.e. Sam Smith trading as Sam Smith) you can offset current year losses against current year earnings from Sam Smith’s PAYE.

If, however, the new business is a limited company the losses must be carried forward and used to offset future profits in the company.
