Norwegian term

ligningsmessig underskudd til fremføring

Norwegian to English Bus/Financial Accounting
"Skattekostnaden i resultatregnskapet omfatter både periodens betalbare skatt og endring i utsatt
skatt. Utsatt skatt er beregnet med 28% på grunnlag av de midlertidige forskjeller som eksisterer
mellom regnskapsmessige og skattemessige verdier, samt ligningsmessig underskudd til fremføring
ved utgangen av regnskapsåret."

Is this what is referred to as "unused tax losses", as in: ""A deferred tax asset should be recognised for deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised..." (IAS 12 Income Taxes).

Thanks, lingo. The reason I took this up here was that I try to keep abreast of the new terminology that is constantly coming into play in IAS/IFRS documentation, and I was intrigued by the use of "unused". I think I'll stick to Chris's suggestion. Chris - would you like to enter it and earn yourself some points today?

Chris's entry is well accepted... ...according to various accounting sources. Here's an example of his phrase (from a Finance.com website): "Your parent company's tax bill is based on consolidated income, rather than only the income in the home area. Taxes paid by subsidiaries constitute a credit to the parent company tax bill. Current period income is reduced by a tax loss carry-forward, if any, from the previous quarter.
The calculation is easy to see when there is a consolidated net loss, as you had in Year 3, Quarter 1."
