Finance Act 1967

Losses of husband and wife

1 (1) In section 20(5) of the [1965 c. 25.] Finance Act 1965 in the passage " any allowable loss accruing in that year of assessment " (which restricts the losses of either husband or wife which may be set off against gains accruing to the other to losses accruing in the current year) the words " accruing in that year of assessment " shall cease to have effect, so as to remove that restriction.

(2) This paragraph shall have effect for the years 1965-66 and 1966-67 as well as later years of assessment, and, in relation to losses accruing in the year 1965-66, and in the year 1966-67, 31st December 1967 shall be substituted for 6th July (that is 6th July 1966 and 6th July 1967) in the proviso to the said section 20(5) (time for applying for exclusion of set off of losses under the said subsection (5)).
