Introduction of a new business continuity test for tax losses

Inland Revenue has produced draft material to explain the purpose and design of the proposed rules. Legislation will be introduced in a supplementary order paper to the Taxation (Annual Rates for 2020-21, Feasibility Expenditure, and Remedial Matters) Bill later this month.
