b) the tax base of the asset – entity will then measure

deferred tax assets and liabilities using the tax rate and tax base that are

consistent with the expected manner of recovery or settlement.

• Amount that would have been deductible in arriving at taxable profit if the carrying amount of an asset had been recovered through sale at the end of the reporting period.

• If the recovery of the asset through sale does not increase the taxable profit, the tax basis is deemed to be equal to the carrying mount.

TAX BASIS FOR ASSET

SMEs FULL

Same

• Carrying amount less any amounts deductible in determining taxable profit (or plus any amounts included in taxable profit) the would have arisen if the liability had been settled for its carrying amount at the end of the reporting period.

VALUATION ALLOWANCE

SMEs FULL• Same

•CA of DTA shall be reviewed at the end of each reporting period. An entity shall reduce the CA of a DTA to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit or part or all of that DTA to be utilized.

• Entity shall review the NCA of a DTA at each reporting date and shall adjust the valuation allowance to reflect current assessment of future taxable profits.

• Such adjustment shall be recognized on profit or loss, except that the adjustment attributable to an item of income or expense recognized in accordance with IFRS as other comprehensive income shall also be recognized in other comprehensive income

VALUATION ALLOWANCE

SMEs FULL•No specific guidance under IAS 12.

•In practice, management records the liability measured as either single best estimate or a weighted average probability of the possible outcomes, if the likelihood is greater than 50%

• Entity shall measure current and DTA and DTL using the probability weighted average amount of all possible outcomes, assuming that tax authorities will review the amounts reported and have full knowledge of all relevant information.

• Changes in probability weighted average amount of all possible outcomes shall be based on new information, not a new interpretation.

UNCERTAINTY

SMEs FULL

Same

• In these circumstances, current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate applicable to undistributed profits until the entity recognizes a liability to pay a dividend.
