@VioletBrown99 Thanks for letting me know, Violet. Very much appreciated.

@waterstonesrose
I respect your commercial decision on whether to stock the book or not, but I don’t think you should give customers misleading information to put them off buying it.

[GD Harper Author @harper_author]

@waterstonesrose
A reader called your store to see if you had “Arden” in stock. You said no, and that the book was print on demand and would take 1-2 months to be delivered. The book is printed by Clays, and in stock at Gardners who can deliver a copy to your store in 24 hours.

@nickmasondrums How the four of you chose the tracks on your greatest hits album.

‘Arden: The Astonishing Untold Story of Shakespeare’s first play’ is launched today. It sheds new light on the murder of Faversham mayor Thomas Arden by his wife, Alice, in 1551, and reveals why Shakespeare’s first-ever play, written about this murder, was published anonymously.

@BabsVan What I find odd about this thread is that lots of people proudly state they only read women authors and that seems to be okay, but a man saying he only reads male authors is not okay and should be vilified.

@rachkmc What’s a comp title?

@janedavisauthor I think you should tweet that there is no truth in the rumour that Taylor Swift is the real author of ‘Small Eden’.

@HMRCcustomers So why won’t the website include these losses in my tax calculation?

[GD Harper Author @harper_author]

@HMRCcustomers In HMRC Guidance Notes, HS227 Losses (2023) says
'4.1 Loss set-off against income or income and capital gains. You may use the loss against your income of 2022 to 2023 or 2021 to 2022 or both years in any priority. '

[GD Harper Author @harper_author]

@HMRCcustomers Thanks for this. I am a cash user but don’t want to carry over my losses, I want to offset them against income in the same tax year, but the loss figures don’t transpose to my tax calculation.

[GD Harper Author @harper_author]

@HMRCcustomers Thanks for your help, looking forward to your update next week.

[GD Harper Author @harper_author]

@HMRCcustomers I’ve always understood that Trading losses made in the current tax year can be offset against other taxable income (such as pension earnings or bank interest) in the current or preceding tax year.  Relief is obtained by the total of the loss being deducted from my taxable income.

[GD Harper Author @harper_author]

@HMRCcustomers Hi Steve, It’s a loss in this tax year, which I want to offset against my tax paid in this tax year rather than carry it forward.

[GD Harper Author @harper_author]

@HMRCcustomers Tried that. Deleted and re-entered everything again. The loss number from my business still didn’t transpose to the calculation.

[GD Harper Author @harper_author]

@HMRCcustomers No error messages. The numbers from rental income, pension and interest on savings are transposed, but not the numbers from my publishing business (turnover and expenses).

[GD Harper Author @harper_author]

@HMRCcustomers Here they are. Thanks for your help.

[GD Harper Author @harper_author]

@HMRCcustomers Yes, that’s all filled in correctly but it’s not being included in the calculation. I fill in Business Income £X, Total Allowable Expenses £Y, the form then calculates ‘Total taxable profits or net business loss’ as £X-Y, but £X-Y number is not included in tax calculation.

[GD Harper Author @harper_author]

@HMRCcustomers Thanks! I’m doing my 2022/3 tax return and the HMRC tax calculation includes income/profits but not self-employed losses. How do I fix this?
