What to do if your business is making losses
If the total deductible expenses for your business are greater than its income then it will have a loss for tax purposes. The business will not have to pay tax and the loss can generally be used to reduce income in future income years.
The rules for using losses depend on whether the business is run through a company, trust or as a sole trader.
