Company-Losses

Nnataly198613y ago
Dear Tutor Can you please make it clear for me: Current Trading losses we set off against current year Total profits and/or against Total profits of previous 12 months(or 36 if closing business), but c/f only against Trading profits? Property losses are set off against current and c/f against Total profits?

Mostly correct, but in order to carry back a trading loss the company MUST firstly use it in the current period and may only then elect to carry back any remaining loss. If an unincorporated trader made a loss then he/she can set off against Total Income of current and/or preceding tax year!
