Tax is calculated in accordance with this sub-paragraph if—

a

so far as is permitted under the law of the relevant member State, losses arising on the transfer F5of those rights and liabilities are set against profits arising on the transfer F5of those rights and liabilities, and

b

any relief available under that law has been claimed.
