loss carryforwards (according to tax regulations)
Explanation:
"steuerlich" kann man hier, glaube ich, weglassen, da es klar ist, dass Verlustvorträge steuerliche Gründe haben und durch die Steuergesetzgebung geregelt werden.

carryforward


A business operating loss that, for tax purposes, may be claimed a certain number of years in the future, often up to 15 years. Thus, a loss in one year would be carried forward to a future year and used to offset profits up to the amount of the carryforward. Carryforwards are especially useful to firms operating in cyclical industries such as transportation. Also called tax loss carryforward.
In taxation of individuals, net capital losses exceeding the annual limit of $3,000 that may be carried to succeeding years so as to offset capital gains or ordinary income. There is no limit on the amount of capital losses that may be used to offset capital gains in any one year, only on the amount of losses in excess of gains that may be used to offset income. Also called carryover.

\"Losses carried forward\" sounds familiar, too.

Although they use \"tax loss carryforward\" (see above, 1st note), in English, IMO, this is incorrect, for \"steuerlicher Verlust\" is in no way the same as \"Steuerverlust\", the first one meaning \"loss under tax regulations\" or \"for tax purposes\", the second meaning \"loss of tax\", totally different terms.

neutral  Rowan Morrell: What you say about "loss" vs. "deficit" may well be right, but "carryforwards"? Sounds a little strange. How about a compromise: "tax loss carried forward"?
22 mins
  -> Even this is the point: it is not a "tax loss" which would imply "a loss of tax amounts" but an operating loss allowed to be carried forward for several years under tax regulations (see comment above).
agree  Steffen Walter: fully, also with your comment on Rowan's entry
36 mins
  -> Thanks!
agree  Ted Wozniak: taxable loss carry forwards takes care of the difference between a "tax loss" and a loss that is deductable from taxes
1 hr
  -> Thank you. Sorry but neither is it covered by "taxable loss" which would be "steuerbarer" or "zu versteuernder Verlust". This does not make sense, only profit or income are "taxable" but no losses.
agree  EMatt: The correct term is: loss carryforward.

tax deficit carried forward


Explanation:
A "Verlustvortrag" is a deficit or loss carried forward, while the adjective "steuerlich" means ".tax".

neutral  Steffen Pollex (X): Agree with "loss" but "deficit", IMO, is misplaced here. A tax deficit would be not a "steuerlicher Velustvortrag" but rather "steuerliche Mindereinnahmen" from the position of the budget, not the tax payer (company) as required here.

neutral  Steffen Walter: in line with Steffen P.

  -> This is really for Steffen P. I had heard of "carryover" but not "carryforward". Personally, I still like "carried forward". But in any case, Steffen P. should get the points here, I think.

check out ibm\'s annual report:

\"The valuation allowance at December 31, 2001, principally applies to certain state and local, and foreign tax loss carryforwards that, in the opinion of management, are more likely than not to expire before the company can use them. \"

Rowan: the language of finance is sometimes a little peculiar - words are commonly used that are never used elsewhere.
