Carry forward of trade loss reliefU.K.
45Carry forward of trade loss against subsequent trade profitsU.K.
(1)This section applies if, in an accounting period, a company carrying on a trade makes a loss in the trade.
(2)Relief for the loss is given to the company under this section.
(3)The relief is given for that part of the loss for which no relief is given under section 37 or 42 (“the unrelieved loss”).
(4)For this purpose—
(a)the unrelieved loss is carried forward to subsequent accounting periods (so long as the company continues to carry on the trade), and
(b)the profits of the trade of any such period are reduced by the unrelieved loss so far as that loss cannot be used under this paragraph to reduce the profits of an earlier period.
(5)In this section and section 46 references to profits of the trade are references to profits of the trade chargeable to corporation tax.
(6)Relief under this section is subject to restriction or modification in accordance with provisions of the Corporation Tax Acts.
Modifications etc. (not altering text)
C1S. 45 applied (retrospective to 1.4.2014) by Finance Act 2014 (c. 26), Sch. 16 paras. 6, 9(1)
46Use of trade-related interest and dividends if insufficient trade profitsU.K.
(1)This section applies for the purposes of section 45 if—
(a)the company carries on the trade in an accounting period (“the later period”), and
(b)relief cannot be fully given in the later period for the unrelieved loss (or for that loss so far as it cannot be relieved in earlier periods) because there are no profits, or insufficient profits, of the trade of the later period.
(2)Treat any interest or dividends within subsection (3) as profits of the trade of the later period.
(3)Interest or dividends are within this subsection if they—
(a)are from investments, and
(b)would be brought into account as trading receipts in calculating the profits of the trade of the later period but for the fact that they have been subjected to tax under other provisions of the Tax Acts.
47Registered industrial and provident societiesU.K.
(1)This section applies for the purposes of section 45 if the company carrying on the trade is a registered industrial and provident society.
(2)The following amounts may be brought into account in calculating the profits of the trade—
(a)amounts to which the charge to corporation tax on income applies under section 299 of CTA 2009 (charge to tax on non-trading profits from loan relationships), and
