IZ 1: Use of specified activity net losses
or “Rules for using specific business losses no longer apply”

You could also call this:

“Rules for shareholder payments to oil companies no longer apply”

This part of the law was about how petroleum mining companies handled payments from their shareholders. However, it’s important to know that this section of the law no longer applies. The government removed it on 1 April 2018. If you want to understand how these companies deal with payments from shareholders now, you’ll need to look at newer parts of the law.
