The Finance Bill due to be debated in early September will finally include the new company loss rules for the set off of company losses that were originally announced in March 2016.
As a result of the first Finance Act being rushed through due to the snap General Election the legislation to introduce the new company loss rules were dropped. This led to considerable uncertainty as to the start date of the new rules but it has now been confirmed that the new rules will apply from 1 April 2017 after all.
So if your company diversifies into a new business activity the losses of one activity incurred after 1 April 2017 can be carried forward and set off against future profits of the new business. Previously such losses would have been ring fenced against future profits of the activity that incurred the losses.
There are new restrictions for companies and groups with profits in excess of £5 million and also changes to the set off of losses within a group.
We can of course assist you in ensuring that relief for losses is obtained in the most beneficial way.
