The ‘carried-back amount’

  • Trade losses carried back against total profits - CTA10/S37
  • Terminal trade losses carried back to an earlier period (but not beginning before 1 April 2017) - CTA10/S45F
  • Deficits of insurance companies - CTA09/S389(2)
  • Non-trading deficits from Loan Relationships carried back against profits of any description - CTA09/463B(1)(b) or S459(1)(b))
