Question
Tax losses The directors of Hillbeck Ltd wish to recognise a deferred tax asset in relation to £250 million of unused trading losses which have accumulated as at 31 December 2022. Hillbeck Ltd has budgeted profits for £80 million for the year ended 31 December 2023. The directors have forecast that profits will grow by 20% each year for the next four years. The market is currently depressed, and sales orders are at a lower level for the first quarter of 2023 than they were for the same period in any of the previous five years. Hillbeck Ltd operates under a tax jurisdiction which allows for trading losses to be only carried forward for a maximum of two years. Explain whether a deferred tax asset can be recognised in the financial statements of Hillbeck Ltd in the year ended 31 December 2022.
