How do you calculate income tax when generating a net profit after two net losses?
Say a firm has a net loss of 8803 in one month and 6573 in the second month. In month three, it makes a profit (before income tax) of 20824. There are no dividends and the retained profits at the start of the month are -6573. How do I calculate income tax for that month, assuming we are taking into account the previous net losses?

Can't tell you about Australia.
In the USA, losses are carried forward. Any profits will offest those losses.
If the profits exceed the losses with a net gain, only then will there be a tax obligation.
The losses will carry forward until a net profit is realized, even from one year to the next.
