You generally make a tax loss when the total deductions that can be claimed for a financial year exceed the total of assessable and net exempt income for the year.

If you operate a business that makes a loss you can generally carry forward that loss and claim a deduction for it in a future year. If you’re a sole trader or in a partnership, you may be able to claim business losses by offsetting them against your other personal income (such as investment income) in the same income year.

AVS Business Services have been our Accountant for couple of years now. This technical expertise coupled with personalised service is an excellent combination. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for an accountant.
