HA 2: Meaning of qualifying company
or “Definition of a qualifying company for tax purposes”

You could also call this:

“Definition of a now-obsolete type of company in tax law”

You should know that the term ‘loss-attributing qualifying company’ used to have a specific meaning in New Zealand tax law. However, this part of the law was removed on 1 April 2011. This means that from that date, the law no longer uses or defines this term. If you’re looking at tax matters for income years starting on or after 1 April 2011, you won’t need to worry about loss-attributing qualifying companies anymore.
