New Company Loss Relief Rules Start on 1 April 2017
New rules that will allow greater flexibility in the way that companies obtain relief for losses will apply to losses incurred from 1 April 2017 onwards.
These rules have been introduced to encourage companies to diversify as the losses may be available to offset against profits of another activity in a future period and even those of a company in the same group.
The proposed new rules were consulted on last summer and are included in the latest Finance Bill.
Although there will be greater flexibility for ‘new’ losses for arising after 1 April 2017, ‘old’ trading losses incurred prior to that date will continue to be restricted and will only be available to be offset against future profits from that same trade. The new rules are very complicated and we will of course work with you to ensure that your company obtains relief for losses in the most advantageous way.
