Temporary Difference

►Difference between carrying value CV in


accounts and tax base

deferred tax liability
Temporary Difference

(depreciation vs capital allowances)
►Provisions – bad debts, inventory
►Tax losses carried forward
Deferred Tax Liabilities-Recognition

taxable temporary differences
►A taxable temporary difference arises where carrying
value of asset is greater than its tax base [liability
method]
►Liability calculated using full provision
►No discounting
Deferred Tax Assets - Recognition
► IAS 12 requires:

►A deferred tax asset to be recognised for all


deductible temporary differences
►Arises where carrying value of asset is less than
its tax base
►To extent that it is probable that taxable profit will
be available against which deductible temporary
difference can be utilised
►No discounting
Accounting for Deferred Tax
