How companies utilise tax losses
Companies can generally carry forward a tax loss indefinitely, and utilise it when they choose, provided they have either substantially maintained the same ownership and control or carried on the same business since the loss was incurred.
When losses can be utilised
Although companies can generally utilise carried-forward losses in any future income year, losses must be utilised in the order in which they were incurred, and special rules apply in relation to net exempt income and franked dividend income.
Continuity of ownership, control, and same business tests
To utilise a tax loss a company must either:
satisfy both the continuity of ownership test (COT) and the control test, or
satisfy the same business test (SBT).
Widely held and Division 166 companies
The way the normal loss deduction rules apply to a widely held or eligible Division 166 company are modified to make it easier for the company to apply the rules. For more information, refer to Guide to the loss recoupment rules.
Current year losses
If there is a change of ownership or control of a company midway through a loss-making year and the company does not maintain the same business, the general loss utilisation rules may be overridden by the current year loss rules.
Consolidated groups and losses
When a wholly owned group consolidates for income tax purposes or a company joins an existing consolidated group by way of becoming wholly owned by the group's head company, pre-consolidation losses incurred by group companies can generally be transferred to and utilised by the head company.
