    2018 2019

    tax paid $490000 $1750000

    Explanation:

    Tax carryforward provision has an 80% limit of losses written off in the current year provided the current year's profits are less than the loss.

    tax paid in 2018 remaining loss

    loss offset in 2016 = $1mil*0.8 = $800000 $3200000

    loss offset in 2017 = $2 mil * 0.8 = $1600000 $1600000

    taxable income 2018 = $3mil - $1600000 = $1400000 * 35% = $490000

    taxable income 2019 = $5 mil * 0.35 = $1750000
