Tax Losses 2nd Edition

Many businesses are incurring losses in these exceptionally difficult times. This book clearly explains how to make use of the various reliefs to ensure that all available tax benefits are given for the losses.

It covers losses incurred by companies, partnerships and individuals, including property losses and capital losses as well as trading losses. The text covers income tax, CGT and CT losses, all in depth and fully illustrated with plenty of worked examples.

This edition has more than doubled in size, with greatly expanded coverage of corporate tax losses in particular. The second edition also explains more recent case law developments (e.g. Beacon re whether a trade is commercial), has additional HMRC guidance (e.g. re gaps in trading), and has expanded coverage where appropriate (e.g. more on the interaction with farm averaging claims).
