1) Capital Losses If you suffer capital losses, then the tax will be calculated against capital gains in the next financial year. If you still suffer capital losses, then you can reclaim the taxes paid when you had capital gains on your business.

If you need to know more about tax planning for your small business, you should consult a tax advisor who specifically counsels small business owners.
