Hi Cheryl,

 

To calculate your carryback, you have to check the inclusion rate for the year to which you are applying your losses. If it is different from the current year’s inclusion rate, you have to adjust your claim.

However, if the inclusion rate for the three previous years is the same as the current year. This means you don’t have to worry about any adjustments.
