Chapter 2Corporation tax on chargeable gains
Corporation tax on chargeable gains: the general scheme
C22ACompany's total profits to include chargeable gains
1
The amount of chargeable gains to be included in a company's total profits for an accounting period is the total amount of chargeable gains accruing to the company in the period after deducting—
C1a
any allowable losses accruing to the company in the period, and
C3b
so far as not previously deducted under this subsection, any allowable losses previously accruing to the company while it was within the charge to corporation tax.

For the purposes of corporation tax on gains “allowable loss” does not include a loss accruing to a company if, had a gain accrued, the company would not have been chargeable to corporation tax on the gain.
F13
Subsection (4) applies if—
a
a company has two or more accounting periods that fall wholly within the same financial year,
b
the company is chargeable to corporation tax for each of those accounting periods only because of a chargeable gain accruing to the company on the disposal of asset, and
c
in the period (if any) between each of those accounting periods, the company is not within the charge to corporation tax.
