It was 100% but it was amended subsequently to allow them bring 50% of their losses forward. I want to explain this section, which is something that is connected but quite different. For the purposes of clarity, I want to note that section 11 does not restrict loss of relief. Rather, it introduces a temporary acceleration of losses relief in respect of 50% of the losses expected to be incurred by companies in accounting periods affected by Covid-19. The balance of the loss will be relieved in due course under the normal rules. I want to explain that in simple English.
