  section 457 of CTA 2009 (carry forward of pre-1 April 2017 non-trading deficits from loan relationships).]

• Step 3 The relevant maximum is the difference between the amount given by step 1 and the amount given by step 2. If the amount given by step 1 does not exceed the amount given by step 2, the relevant maximum is nil.

[F18 (8) Subsection (2) does not apply in relation to a banking company for an accounting period where, in determining the company's relevant profits for the period, the amount given by step 1 in section 269ZF(3) is not greater than nil.]

(b) there are one or more other members of the group that have carried on a relevant regulated activity while a member of the group, and

(c) none of those members first began to carry on such an activity more than 5 years before the start-up day,

company C's start-up period is the period beginning with the start-up day and ending with the relevant group period.

(3) The “relevant group period”, in relation to a group, means the period of 5 years beginning with the earliest day on which any member of the group first began to carry on a relevant regulated activity.

(4) If on the start-up day—

(a) company C is a member of a group,

(b) there are one or more other members of the group that have carried on a relevant regulated activity while a member of the group, and

(c) any of those members first began to carry on such an activity more than 5 years before the start-up day,

(5) This subsection applies if—

(a) on a day falling within company C's start-up period (“the relevant day”), company C becomes a member of a group,

(b) one or more of the members of the group which on the relevant day carry on a relevant regulated activity first began to do so before the beginning of company C's start-up period, and

(c) the relevant regulated activities carried on by company C do not form a significant proportion of the relevant regulated activities carried on immediately after the relevant day by the members of the group as a whole.

(6) Where subsection (5) applies, company C's start-up period—

(3) A loss designated under this section as an unrestricted loss is to be treated for the purposes of this Chapter as if it were not a relevant carried-forward loss.

(4) The amount of losses which a company may designate at any time must not exceed the amount of carried-forward loss allowance which the company has at that time.

(5) The amount of carried-forward loss allowance which a company has at any time is the difference between the company's maximum available carried-forward loss allowance and the total amount of losses designated by the company under this section before that time.

(d) that amount is greater than the amount of carried-forward loss allowance which the building society could allocate under section 269CI.
