1153 Amount of a loss which is “unrelieved” U.K.

(1) The amount of a UK property business loss or trading loss that is “unrelieved” is the amount of the loss reduced by—

(a) any relief obtained by the company under [F1 section 62(1) to (3) of CTA 2010], or that was or could have been obtained by it making a claim under [F2 section 37(3)(a) of CTA 2010, to deduct the loss from total] profits of the same accounting period,

(4) If in the relevant accounting period no amount falls to be carried forward to a subsequent accounting period under section 76(12) of ICTA (unrelieved expenses carried forward), no amount of the UK property business loss is unrelieved.

(b) treated for the purposes of section 76 of ICTA as expenses payable which fall to be brought into account for the relevant accounting period in accordance with—

(i) Step 7 in section 76(7) of ICTA, as a result of a previous application of section 76(12) or (13) of that Act, or
