Notes In the year 6 and 7, since the profits earned during the years were less than loss carried forward
there was no tax liability.
In the year 8, profits of 160 lakhs were adjusted against loss c/f i.e. 100 + 70 + 40 + 30 – 60 – 120
i.e. 60 balance profit of 100 lakhs out of which 20% was tax free and the remaining 80% 80
lakhs was subject to tax @ 50% of 40 lakhs.

In the years 9 and 10, profits to the extent of 20% were tax free, balance 80% subject to tax of 50%,
hence tax during the years were 200 × 0.8 × 0.5 i.e., 80 lakhs and 300 × 0.8 × 5 i.e., 120 lakhs
respectively.
