There is a taper relief table for each tax year where taper relief is calculated. This is to make it easier to see where same year losses have been assigned. Remember that losses are assigned first to gains with the lowest taper relief. Note also the syntax within the taper relief tables; eg."trade 2.3" refers to the 3rd buy trade that partially matches with the 2nd sell in that tax year.
