‑1 What this Division is about
A corporate tax entity can choose to “carry back” a tax loss it had for 2019‑20, 2020‑21, 2021‑22 or 2022‑23 against the income tax liability it had for 2018‑19, 2019‑20, 2020‑21 or 2021‑22. The entity gets a refundable tax offset for 2020‑21, 2021‑22 or 2022‑23 that is a proxy for the tax the entity would save if it deducted the loss in the income year to which the loss is “carried back”. The refundable tax offset: (a) is capped at the entity’s franking account balance; and (b) is only available for losses for years for which the entity’s turnover was less than $5 billion.
