What is Deferred tax??

Answer Posted / barodianbuddy(acca)

deferred tax arises because accounting profit will not be equal to taxable profit. The reason can be split into 2 categories:

1. permanent difference:- items that would have been used in calculating accounting profit but would not be used in calculating taxable profit. eg entertaining expenses (UK tax)

2. TEMPORARY DIFFERENCE:- Items that would have been used in calculating accounting profit and taxable profit but in different accounting periods. eg depreciation/tax allowances.

IAS 12 considers only the temporary differences.
