Can a private company declared dividend out of current years profit and loss account though it has carry forward loss in profit and loss account?

Dividend declaration and dividend payments are two different things. Anyways, the preliminary dividend decision lies on the company's current year performance(profit after tax) or previous years accumulated reserves/profits. Well in this case, the company has suffered loss in the past year(s). So if in your case, if the company has earned profit(cash profits to settle dividend obligation) in the current year it may declare and pay off the dividends irrespective of previous year loss. This previous year loss can be settled against any current year's balance or future profits, depends on certain number of years to be carried forward/backward(tax issue). Obviously, if it is loss making business the company should either restructure, divert or wind-up its activities. There are also taxation issues relating to such carried forward loss known in tax terms "tax loss".

If an individual has a capital loss in 2008 can he carry it back to a 2005 capital gain tax paid?

No. But you can use $3000 of the capital loss to offset current year ordinary income and then carry the rest forward. Be sure to fill out the capital loss carryover worksheet in the Schedule D instructions before you enter a carryover from the previous year. The carryover rules are some of the most confusing for taxpayers and taxpayers cheat themselves out of a lot of carryover. Don't assume you know the right amount to carry over. Use the worksheet.

What is the definition of a succeeding tax year?

It means the tax year that immediately follows. Individuals are calendar year filers, so here's an example: You have a tax credit on your 2010 tax return that you couldn't fully use because it was more than your tax liability, but it can by carried forward to the next succeeding tax year. Therefore you can claim the unused amount as a tax credit on your 2011 tax return. Tax before credits = $500 Nonrefundable business credit = $800 Tax = $0 $300 of the credit wasn't used & it's a credit you're allowed to carry forward, then you can use the remaining $300 of unused credit in the next year. There is usually a limit to how many years you can carry a credit forward before it is lost (unusable). If you have several years of business losses, you may end up with tax credits you never use.
