Hello Mike,
Can you advise whether there is a deferred tax asset arising from the transfer of fixed asset where the seller sold the fixed asset at a gain on consolidation. This is assuming that the tax base of the asset remains unchanged on transfer.
Am i correct to say that from individual entity perspective it would have make a gain on sale of PPE. As the gain is taxable amount will be payable by the individual entity. However, from the group’s perspective, no gain has been made which means the related tax expense must be reversed and a related deferred tax benefit is recognised. A deferred tax asset is recognised because, from the group’s perspective, the amount paid to tax authority represents a prepayment of tax.
That sounds good to me
