6. Temporary DifferencesIf we have a parallel accounting for tax,

a. B/S values in FR = Carrying Valuesb. B/S values in Tax = 7. Tax Basea-b = Temporary Differences

Must be reversing in future in order to be temporary.

The whole complexity (if there’s any) around deferred tax understanding is because of the understanding and working of tax base!

Temporary Differences (Closer Look)If

Assets: Carrying Values > Tax BasesLiab.: Carrying Values < Tax Bases

Then the differences are taxable temporary differences

Why: Because Asset will convert to expense more in FR then in Tax, so tax profits will be more means more future income tax

IMP:The systematic way to find tax base of an

asset or liability in a scenario is to think of underlying accounting entry(ies) from Tax perspective

Let’s see all how it works

In all previous examples, we were closing ‘deferred tax’ to P/L. This was so because the corresponding impact of the temporary difference was in P/L.

A deferred tax liability shall be recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from:

(a) the initial recognition of goodwill; or(b) the initial recognition of an asset or liability

in a transaction which:(i) is not a business combination; and(ii) at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss)

Let’s see logic of these exemptions

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 33: Deferred tax icmap kbc

Except:(a) the initial recognition of goodwill

IFRS 3 requires Business Combinations to be recorded at Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities.

B/S A: Asset 100 Equity 100B/S B: Asset 10 Equity 10

Let’s assume A is taking over B by paying B’s shareholders sum of Rs.15. The fair values of B’s assets at the time are equal to the carrying values

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 34: Deferred tax icmap kbc

Except:(a) the initial recognition of goodwill

B/S A: Asset 100 Equity 100B/S B: Asset 10 Equity 10

Let’s assume A is taking over B by paying B’s shareholders sum of Rs.15. The fair values of B’s assets at the time is 12.

Entry to record the combination in books of A will be

If we record deferred tax for this (@ say 40%), the entry could be

Deferred Tax Dr. 2 Deferred Tax Liability Cr. 2

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 36: Deferred tax icmap kbc

Except:(a) the initial recognition of goodwillTaxable Temporary Difference 5

If we record deferred tax for this (@ say 40%), the entry could be

Deferred Tax Dr. 2 Deferred Tax Liability Cr. 2

The resultant deferred tax could not be closed to P/L as there’s no current tax consequences of this entry.

Further, the timing of the goodwill reversal is not known (impairment). It means although this is a temporary difference, the reversal timing is uncertain.

IAS therefore prohibits booking deferred tax for this.

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 37: Deferred tax icmap kbc

Let’s now see the second exemption:

Except:(b) the initial recognition of an asset or

liability in a transaction which:(i) is not a business combination; and(ii) at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss)

It is hard to imagine any transaction which satisfies above criteria in our context. See for example

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 38: Deferred tax icmap kbc

Except: (b) the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction

which:(i) is not a business combination; and(ii) at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss)

Normally, at the time of initial recognition of an asset or a liability, there are no deferred tax consequences.

See for example:

Asset purchased on Cash, Asset purchased on liability,Cash received from a liability,

continue to next slide…

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 39: Deferred tax icmap kbc

Except: (b) the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction

which:(i) is not a business combination; and(ii) at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss)

See following examples where in initial recognition, there are temporary differences but affect either accounting or tax profits

Research costs capitalized in Tax but expensed out in FR

The resultant R&D asset is initial recognition in tax but it affects P/L too.. So no problem,

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 40: Deferred tax icmap kbc

Except: (b) the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction

which:(i) is not a business combination; and(ii) at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss)

Although this example relates to deductible differences, it will clarify the concept at hand.Assume one receives exempt income in advance

_______FR TaxCash Dr. 10 Cash Dr. 10Unearned Cr. 10 Equity Cr.. 10

Although there’s a temporary difference, yet there are no P/L consequences for the time being. If we record deferred tax

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 41: Deferred tax icmap kbc

Except: (b) the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction

which:(i) is not a business combination; and(ii) at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss)

Assume I prepay fines and penalties

_______FR TaxCash Dr. 10 Cash Dr. 10Unearned Cr. 10 Equity Cr.. 10

Deferred Tax Asset Dr. 3.33 Deferred Tax Cr. 3.33

This entry will disturb current matching (how…!)

If we omit recording DT for this, it will enable current matching; future matching is not required as the expense will be disallowed.

That’s why IAS does not permit this

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 42: Deferred tax icmap kbc

Except: (b) the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction

which:(i) is not a business combination; and(ii) at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss)

Just a tip for your understandingAs for unearned exempt income, the Same logic applies to disallowed prepaid expenses

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 43: Deferred tax icmap kbc

Except: (b) the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction

which:(i) is not a business combination; and(ii) at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss)

Example (12.22) An entity intends to use an asset which cost 1,000 throughout

its useful life of five years and then dispose of it for a residual value of nil. The tax rate is 40%. Depreciation of the asset is not deductible for tax purposes. On disposal, any capital gain would not be taxable and any capital loss would not be deductible.

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 44: Deferred tax icmap kbc

(12.18) Temporary differences also arise when:(a) the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities

assumed in a business combination are recognized at their fair values

(b) assets are revalued and no equivalent adjustment is made for tax purposes

Let’s see the second one first

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 45: Deferred tax icmap kbc

(12.18) Temporary differences also arise when: (b) FR revaluations

Let CV=TB=100, Revaluation under IAS16 to 120._______FR TaxAsset Dr.20 Equity Cr.20 -

CV(A)>TB(A) by 20 so taxable temp. diff.Def. Tax Dr. 6 Def. Tax Liability Cr.6

Note that there’re no P/L accounts involved in either side so adjusting DT a/c against P/L will disturb matching.(revaluation increases current equity and decreases future income)

The DT /ac will therefore be adjusted against equity and liquidated against future income.

This will enable current matching and will not disturb future matching.

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 46: Deferred tax icmap kbc

(12.18) Temporary differences also arise when: (a) the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a

business combination are recognized at their fair values

Note that under revaluation, the corresponding credit (or debit) goes to equity so DT a/c is also adjusted to equity.

Under business combination, the debit may go to goodwill or credit may go to equity (some sort of bargain surplus).

Here also there are no P/L consequences in the originating period, so DT a/c is adjusted accordingly to Goodwill or equity

‘The resulting deferred tax liability affects goodwill’ (12.19) should be clear now (for taxable temporary differences)

This is one of the reason DT on goodwill is not recognized (iterative affect on goodwill)

Recognition:Recognition:

Page 47: Deferred tax icmap kbc

Unused Tax Losses

Net loss of Rs.100 is recordedFR Tax

Equity Dr. P/L Cr. Asset Dr. P/L Cr.

So its is clear that there’s a deductible temporary difference CV(A)0<TB(A)100

So DT asset is there which should be recorded. This will give a tax credit a current year’s income statement which is consistent with matching principle, being in loss

Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period

When different tax rates apply to different levels of taxable income, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the average rates that are expected to apply

•As we learned in our initial discussion about the income statement, companies report operating income, then adjust this amount for profit (losses) from discontinued operations, extraordinary items and/or changed in accounting principles.

•Each of these “below the line” categories must be reported net of tax. That means that the total tax expense is allocated to each of income from continuing operations, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and changes in accounting principles separately.
