HA 23: Treatment of tax losses on amalgamation
or “Tax losses can't be carried forward when non-qualifying companies merge with qualifying companies”

You could also call this:

“Rules for handling most tax losses have been removed”

This section of the law was about how tax losses, except for some foreign losses, were treated. However, it was removed from the law on 1 April 2011. This means it no longer applies to income years that started on or after that date. Since the section has been taken out of the law, there are no current rules to explain about how these tax losses are treated.
