3.2.21 Deductions in respect of expenditure and losses incurred before 
commencement of trade (section 11A) 
Pre-trade expenditure and losses qualify as a deduction against the income from the trade to 
which they relate subject to the following requirements contained in section 11A(1): 
• First, the trade, in respect of which the pre-trade expenditure or loss was incurred
must have been commenced by the taxpayer. 
• Secondly, the pre-trade expenditure or loss must have been actually incurred before 
the commencement of and in preparation for carrying on that trade. 
• Thirdly, had the pre-trade expenditure or loss been incurred after the commencement 
of the trade to which it relates, it would have been allowed as a deduction under 
section 11 [other than section 11(x)], 11D or 24J. 
• Fourthly, the pre-trade expenditure or loss must not have been allowed as a deduction 
in that year or any previous year of assessment. 
Once these requirements have been met, the pre-trade expense will be allowed as a deduction 
under section 11A(1) in the year of assessment in which the trade to which it relates 
commences, subject to the ring-fencing requirements of section 11A(2).

• section 11D (deduction for R&D); or 
• section 24J (incurral and accrual of interest).
