­KordaMentha’s report on Ten Network shows that the collapsed broadcaster’s unrecorded tax ­losses of $A58.9m could be utilised by CBS Corporation if it gains full ownership. The tax-loss credits could potentially enable CBS to book large profits before it becomes liable to pay any tax on Ten’s earnings. CBS requires approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board to acquire Ten, while businessmen Bruce Gordon and Lachlan Murdoch are seeking a court ruling that KordaMentha’s creditors’ report lacked sufficient detail.
