HA 24: Treatment of tax losses other than certain foreign losses
or “Rules for handling most tax losses have been removed”

You could also call this:

“This section about handling some overseas losses is no longer in use”

The law about ‘Treatment of certain foreign losses’ used to be in this section. However, it no longer applies. The government removed this part of the law on 1 April 2011. This means that from that date, any rules that were in this section no longer work. If you want to know how foreign losses are treated now, you’ll need to look at other parts of the tax law.
