Hello,
I have a query on group loss relief which is probably best explained with an example. Please assume the following:
Company A owns 90% of Company B
Company B has trading losses of £100,000
Would the maximum group loss relief available to Company A be £100,000 or 90% of £100,000?
In the BPP practice and revision kit there is a similar scenario to above and the full £100,000 is available. It would seem odd that a company can claim loss relief on a loss which isn't really theirs.
Thanks

Group loss relief
When a company owns a 75% shareholding in another company it has access with a group relief claim to 100% of its losses!
