Losses

Extended carry back

If your business has been adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic resulting in a loss, you may be able to benefit from the extended carry-back provisions to generate a tax repayment.

For income tax purposes, losses for 2020/21 and 2021/22 can be carried back for up to three years (to the extent that the loss has not been relieved against other income of the same or the previous accounting period).

For corporation tax purposes, a loss for accounting periods ending between 1 April 2020 and 31 March 2022 can be carried back three years, rather than the usual one.

We can help ensure that you obtain the best possible relief for any losses that you have incurred.
