If you make an assessment including a loss carry-back, the computer translates the carry-back into an amount of tax `paid'. This figure is the difference between the CT liability that would result from the figures in the assessment, if the relief for loss carried back was not present, and the CT payable taking the carry-back into account.

Please note that: The percentage rates used above for CT are subject to change and are based on prevailing rates of CT for the periods in question.
