(3)
If relief for the loss is to be given for one or more of those tax years, the relief is given in the way in which it would have been given had it been given under section 381 of ICTA ignoring this Act (and section 73 of this Act is to be read accordingly).

the basis period for the tax year 2007-08 overlaps with the tax year 2006-07, and
