Scene 15

Scene 16

Net operating loss (NOL) pertains to the excess of allowable deductions over the gross income from business or exercise of a profession during a taxable year. Net operating loss carry over (NOLCO) pertains to the amount of net operating  loss that is allowed by the law to be carried over as deduction against available net income in the following three years.

Scene 17

Who can claim NOLCO ? All taxpayers subject to tax on taxable income whether at the regular income tax or at preferential tax rate can deduct NOLCO. Taxpayers who are exempt, enjoying tax holiday, subject to tax on gross income, or those subject to final income tax, cannot deduct NOLCO. Rational of the Disallowance Of Carry-over of Net Operating Loss Deductions are of no benefit to the taxpayer in an exempt year. Hence, the net operating loss from an exempt year should not be given value by carry- over as this would cause undue enrichment o the taxpayer. NOTE:  NOLCO carry over is allowed in 2019 since there is no substantial change in ownership but not allowed in 2020 since there is change in at least 75% in the ownership of the business. Rationale of the Rule on Substantial Change in Ownership  NOLCO is granted as an incentive to the taxpayers to enable them to recoup their losses before they become fully subject to income tax. Without this incentive, income tax would become a tax on capital.
