A Constituent Entity of an MNE Group has a Substitute Loss Carry-forward DTA that arises in a Fiscal Year if:

(b)    the Constituent Entity has, in relation to the jurisdiction:

(i) a foreign tax credit; and

(ii) a domestic tax loss that is fully or partially offset by foreign source income covered by subsection (4) ; and

(c)    the tax law of the jurisdiction allows foreign tax credits to be used to offset a tax liability in a subsequent Fiscal Year in relation to income that is included in the computation of the Constituent Entity ' s GloBE Income or Loss for that subsequent Fiscal Year.

4-95(2)    
A Constituent Entity of an MNE Group also has a Substitute Loss Carry-forward DTA arising in a Fiscal Year if:

(a)    the conditions in paragraphs (1)(a) and (b) are satisfied, but the condition in paragraph (1)(c) is not satisfied; and

(b)    the tax law of the jurisdiction permits the recharacterisation of domestic source income of a Fiscal Year as foreign source income of a later Fiscal Year; and

4-95(3)    
The amount of the Substitute Loss Carry-forward DTA is the lesser of the following:

(b)    the amount of the Constituent Entity ' s tax loss that is offset as mentioned in subparagraph (1)(b)(ii) , multiplied by the tax rate applicable in the jurisdiction.

4-95(4)    
For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a) and subparagraph (1)(b)(ii) , this subsection covers foreign source income if both of the following conditions are satisfied:

(a)    the foreign source income is income of a controlled foreign company of a Constituent Entity of an MNE Group;
