    In example 2 Andris buys an asset at the beginning of 2009 for $600 000. It has a useful life of three years and is scrapped at the end of its useful life. its profits over the next three years are:
    1,800 (2009), 2,300 (2010), 2,500 (2011).

    A first year tax allowance of 100% is available on this asset.
    The tax rate for Andris is 25%.

    Question : When calculating deferred tax for 2009, the book value is $400 000 and the tax value is 0 due to the first year 100% allowance. The deferred tax liability is therefore $100 and you release this over the next two years to write it off. But the book value in 2010 is $200 000, which gives a deferred tax liability of $50 for 2010. What happened to the deferred tax liability for 2010? i do not see where you wrote it off.

    Your assistance will be deeply appreciated as I am very uncertain.

    It was created within the $100 deferred tax liability at the end of the first year

    That liability was then reduced by $50 at the end of the second year so there remains a $50 balance of the deferred liability account

    Does that answer your question?
