Thanks for flagging this, Lesley. You were right — the form was labelled "780" next to the carry-forward value, but the CT600 draft correctly showed the actual Box 780 figure (your gross trading loss). The two numbers are genuinely different when you have other income that offsets part of the loss.
We've just deployed a fix: that row now reads "Trading losses to carry forward" without referencing a CT600 box number, so there's no more confusion between what's shown in the form and what appears on the CT600.
To clarify the values for your company:
- **£14,077** is your total trading loss for the period (the correct CT600 Box 780 value)
- **£639** is what remains after £13,438 was used to offset your other income — this is what carries forward to next year
Both your CT600 and accounts filings are correct. The only issue was the misleading label in the form, which is now fixed.
