Rule 1 applies if the later tax calculation currency is the same as the earlier tax calculation currency. | Rule 1 is that the loss must be translated into its sterling equivalent by reference to the same rate of exchange as that at which the profit against which the carried-back amount is to be set off is required to be translated under section 11. |
