Accounting for Taxes on income
The objective of issuing this accounting standard is toprovide a guideline, based upon which, the tax onincome is required to be accounted for.
Deferred Tax Deferred tax according to this AS is thetax effect of timing differences. Timing differences arethe differences between taxable income and accountingincome for a period that originate in one period and
which are capable of reversal in one or moresubsequent periods. e.g. the expenses debited instatement of P&L for accounting purposes, but allowedfor tax purposes in subsequent years.
Milind S Limaye 45
8/12/2019 Indian Acct Standard and US GAAP
46/54
Permanent differences are the differences between taxable
income and accounting income for a period that originate inone period and do not reverse subsequently. e.g. whilecomputing taxable income, the tax laws disallow a part orwhole of an item of expenditure.
Deferred tax liability It is the amount of temporarydifference that will result in a payment of tax in future years.In some cases, the tax laws allow a company to deductcertain expenses totally in a single year, but the managementwants to phase out the charges over a number of years. e.g.
on some assets, the IT Act permits complete depreciation (orhigher rates of depreciation), compared to the depreciationprovided in the statement of P&L.
Milind S Limaye 46
8/12/2019 Indian Acct Standard and US GAAP
47/54
Deferred tax asset - It is the amount of temporary
differences that will result in deductible amounts infuture years. These are cases where the companiescharge off duty, cess and tax dues against profits,when they become due, but they would be
recognised for tax computation only when actuallypaid. Similar is the case with other expenses thatare not allowed as per IT act. In such cases, acompany is actually pre paying taxes pertaining tofuture years.
