Having first relieved the trading loss in the accounting period of loss, only then may any
remaining trading losses be carried back against Total Profits before deduction of qualifying
charitable donations of the preceding 12 months. The loss must be applied fully against the
available profits.
(b)
Partial claims, for example to leave su
ffi
cient profit to cover the qualifying charitable donation,
are not allowed. These claims may therefore result in no tax relief being achieved for the
qualifying charitable donations. The relief must be claimed within 2 years of the end of the
accounting period in which the loss is made.
