• Use this form to determine the continuity and use of available losses; to determine a current-year non-capital loss, farm loss, restricted farm loss, or limited
partnership loss; to determine the amount of restricted farm loss and limited partnership loss that can be applied in a year; and to ask for a loss carryback
to previous years.
• A corporation can choose whether or not to deduct an available loss from income in a tax year. The corporation can deduct losses in any order. However,
for each type of loss, deduct the oldest loss first.
•
According to subsection 111(4) of the Income Tax Act, when control has been acquired, no amount of capital loss incurred for a tax year ending before that
time is deductible in computing taxable income in a tax year ending after that time. Also, no amount of capital loss incurred in a tax year ending after that
time is deductible in computing taxable income of a tax year ending before that time.
• When control has been acquired, subsection 111(5) provides for similar treatment of non-capital and farm losses, except as listed in
paragraphs 111(5)(a) and (b).
•
For information on these losses, see the T2 Corporation – Income Tax Guide.
• File one completed copy of this schedule with the T2 return, or send the schedule by itself to the tax centre where the return is filed.
