Introduction Overview Overview Section 428: Relief for expense otherwise giving rise to carried forward loss
1285.This section provides for the carrying forward of the expense to later accounting periods. It is based on paragraph 39 of Schedule 10 to FA 2006.
1286.If the company makes a loss in the accounting period which, in accordance with section 425(4)(b), begins on the day after the qualifying change of ownership, the loss derived from the expense treated as incurred under section 425(4)(a), which could otherwise only be carried forward and applied against the profits of the company’s leasing trade, is instead to be treated as an expense of the next accounting period and so available for group relief in that period.
1287.If the company continues to make losses, so much of the loss as derives from the expense can similarly be treated as an expense of subsequent accounting periods which start within five years of the qualifying change of ownership, unless there is a subsequent qualifying change of ownership.
1288.The amount of the loss derived from the expense is indexed to up-rate its value and preserve the symmetry between the value of the charge and the value of the relief. See subsection (2).
1289.Paragraph 39 of Schedule 10 to FA 2006 applies for the purposes of:
	paragraph 3 of that Schedule, in a case where the company carries on the leasing business alone; and
	paragraphs 23(4A) and 33 of that Schedule, in a case where the company carries on the business in partnership.
1290.It has been rewritten here for the purposes only of section 425. It has also been rewritten in section 386 for the purposes of section 383 and in section 419 for the purposes of section 417(5). It is considered that it is helpful to paint the complete picture in each Chapter.
