    Accumulated Loss from previous years

    Hi All,

    I just want to find out the following...

    If a company say made a Loss in the 2013 year say -R 50 000, and that company made a profit of say R 40 000 the following year.

    Will this be treated as (-50 000 + 40 000) = -R10 000 assessed Loss so we dont have to pay Income tax?

    Or

    Will the second years Profits of R40 000 be seen as profits and well have to pay taxes on that? Then the balance of the loss will carry over
    to the next year?

    Any help would be usefull..

    Thank you

    Hello mango
    Any accumulated assessed loss is carried forward and deducted from each year's profits until it has been fully utilised.

    Tax is calculated after the subtraction of the previous year/s loss/losses

    Just make sure that SARS has assessed you for the same loss as on the financial statements in the previous year...
