This Chapter applies if for any accounting period a company has a non-trading deficit from its loan relationships under section 301(6).

In this Chapter “the deficit” and “the deficit period” mean that deficit and that period respectively (but see section 458(5)).

Sections 457 and 458 set out the rules about carrying the deficit forward to later accounting periods.

Sections 459 and 460 deal with claims for the deficit to be dealt with differently.

Sections 461 to 463 deal with the consequences of such claims.
