status of assesse plays as major role in such cases
however in case of individual and HUF, the tax is payable after adjustment of brought forward losses,

Question too short to answer correctly.. But if the loss so brought forward is eligible to be set off against the income of current year, then is it is first set-off and then tax is paid on balance amount, if taxable. Status of the person is not much important. However, in case of company and firm, if there is no change in constitution of the the ownership, then the loss can be set off if eligible to.
