On July 10, 2015 the Dutch Supreme Court ruled with respect to tax loss carry-back in a case where there were subsequent fiscal unities formed for Dutch corporate income tax purposes (ECLI:NL:HR:2015:1779). Under current regulations Net Operating Losses (NOLs) can be carried back to the previous year and carried forward to the following nine financial years. During the years 2009 and 2010 taxpayers were given the opportunity to opt for a system in which NOLs could be carried back to the previous three financial years and carried forward to the six following financial years. The underlying case regards the regulations as applied in 2009 and 2010. Although it therefore seems only interesting for a limited number of similar cases, in our view the case is still interesting because it gives an example of some of the (un-)wanted effects that joining a fiscal unity during a financial year might have.
