BIM72315 - Partnerships: Computation & assessment: Other Income: Losses and Overlap Relief

Example

In 2010/11 Sarah retires from a professional partnership. Her shares of partnership income for the year, and details of both losses and overlap profits brought forward, are as follows

Profit 2010/11Losses b/fOverlap profit b/fNet profit/(loss)
Case II£5,000nil£(1,750)£3,250
Case III£500-200£300
Case VI£4,000£(1 000)£(2,000)£1,000
Schedule A£750nil£(4000)£(3,250)

In addition Sarah has non-partnership income in the year as follows

Dividends and other taxed income£5,300
Pension£11,450

The overlap profit associated with the Case II, Case III and Case VI income has all been absorbed by the profit from those sources assessable in 2010/11.

But the overlap profit associated with the Schedule A source cannot be absorbed in full this year. Therefore Sarah has excess overlap profit of £3,250.

Initially you use the excess overlap relief to reduce the profit from any other share of untaxed partnership income (other than Case I/II income):

Net profit 2010/11Less reallocated Sch A overlap profitNet profit(loss)
Case III£300£(300)0
Case VI£1,000£(1,000)0
Balance of Sch A overlap profit still unrelieved£(1,950)

Give the balance of Sch A overlap profit still unrelieved as a deduction from any other income for the year

Net profit 2010/11

Case I£3,250
Dividends and other taxed income£5,300
Pension£11,450
Balance of Schedule A overlap profit still unrelieved£(1,950)
Net total£18,050
