2022 Tax Tips – Loss Carry Back
One of the measures the Federal Government announced to help businesses during COVID was the Loss Carry Back Tax offset.
Normally if you have a tax loss, this can be only offset against future taxable income.
But this Loss Carry Back Tax offset allows eligible business who have experienced a tax loss in the 2021-2022 tax year, to offset this against taxable income in previous selected years. This may then result in a cash refund of tax paid in previous years, or a reduction in the debt you owe the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
