Answer:
$255,000
Explanation:
Given that,
2016:
Taxable and pretax financial income = $850,000
Tax rate = 30%
2017:
Taxable and pretax financial income = $850,000
Tax rate = 35%
Income tax refund receivable in 2018:
= Taxable and pretax financial loss in 2018 × Tax rate in the year 2016
= $850,000 × 30 percent
= $255,000
Note:
(i) The carry back provision allows losses to be carried back to preceding 2 years, with the amount of net loss being applied to earliest year first.
(ii) 2018 net loss should be applied to income of 2016 first.
