ATXHELP: Capital Losses Surrender

Aahcompany8y ago
Hello, I will really appreciate if someone can help me with the following query So, I was doing CACAO LTD Group question (Kaplan Exam Kit) in that 1) 3 companies are 100% owned by an other company. 2) One company (A) had a capital loss brought forward where as another company (B) had capital gain in the year. Now in the solution, examiner transferred capital gain of B to A to adjust its capital loss. Now my query is, 1) cant we transfer capital loss of A to B to adjust it? 2) Are brought forward capital losses transferred for relief in capital gain group? Would really appreciate this help as I am a self-study student.

You cannot transfer a b/fwd capital loss, so thats why you would transfer the current year capital gain so you can offset against that. I hope that helps.
