Hi ~ tutor
I have a question confused me for few hours, for short question post, please google F7 Sept 2016 exam, My problem is about tax expense computed out of deferred tax, which sitting in Sept 2016 papers section C, Q31- Triage Co
Here are also brief informs of my question
informs extracted from trial balance as follows :
Debit balance of 700 on current tax, and credit balance of 3,200 on deferred tax
( for short post, I just give the relevant items of this question )(ii) Non-current assets:
The directors decided to revalue the leased property at $66·3m on 1 October 20X5. Triage Co does not make an annual transfer from the revaluation surplus to retained earnings to reflect the realization of the revaluation gain; however, the revaluation will give rise to a deferred tax liability at the company’s tax rate of 20%. The leased property is depreciated on a straight-line basis and plant and equipment at 15% per annum using the reducing balance method.No depreciation has yet been charged on any non-current assets for the year ended 31 March 20X6
(iv)
A provision of $2·7m is required for current income tax on the profit of the year to 31 March 20X6. The balance on current tax in the trial balance is the under/over provision of tax for the previous year. In addition to the temporary differences relating to the information in note (ii), at 31 March 20X6, the carrying amounts of Triage Co’s net assets are $12m more than their tax base.The given term above all completed, please calculate the tax charge to profit or loss ??
my calculation as follows
provision on current tax 2700
+ Debit balance of current tax 700
__________________________________
Tax charge 3400credit balance of deferred tax 3200
– deferred tax arising from
revaluation of Leased property (1560)– carry amount over tax base( 2400)
____________________________________________________________
additional deferred tax provision required ( 760 )so finally 3400 + 760 = 4160 is my number figures for tax charge to profit or loss
I give you the correct answer provided by ACCA web
(iii) Deferred tax
Provision required at 31 March 20X6:
Revalued property and other assets (7,800 + 12,000) x 20%) 3,960
Provision at 1 April 20X5 (3,200)
–––––––
Increase in provision 760
Revaluation of land and buildings (7,800 x 20%) (1,560)
–––––––
Balance credited to profit or loss (800)Income tax expense 2,700 + 700 – 800 = 2600
Could you please tell me what’s wrong with my calculation !!
what’s thinking bias shown in my calculation !!
Thanks
August 24, 2018 at 4:40 pm #469259Hi,
You’ve calculated the increase in the deferred tax provision correctly at 760 in your workings but you’ve then not adjusted for the fact that of this increase a large part is attributable to the gain on the revaluation.
As the gain on revaluation is taken through OCI then the deferred tax on it must also go through OCI, and so we need to remove this from the profit or loss.
If you look at the journal entries then it may help further:
CR Deferred tax provision 760 (which you’ve calculated)
DR Deferred tax OCI 1,560 (which you’ve not taken through OCI)
CR Tax expense SPL 800 (as a balancing figure that then reduces your 3,400 tax expense to that of the answer at 2,600)Don’t get too hung up on this as this is one of the more trickier areas of the syllabus.
Thanks
August 25, 2018 at 8:13 am #469330Thanks you sir ~ your Journal post is helpful for me to understand rather than ACCA’ answer
CR Deferred tax provision 760 (which you’ve calculated)
DR Deferred tax OCI 1,560 (which you’ve not taken through OCI)
CR Tax expense SPL 800 (as a balancing figure that then reduces your 3,400 tax expense to that of the answer at 2,600)Actually I spent 1 hours fighting on it and self-made a way to work on similar question might happened next time
I use the provision of deferred tax liability as draft provision
and then excluded any items( in draft provision) nothing to do with profit or loss
I can get the deferred provision truly related to tax expense
Then use deferred provision which truly related to tax expense, to reconcile with
trial balance of deferred tax liability
and finally comes to the figures of (800) reduce at income tax expenseMy self solution extracted as follows :
revaluation of Leased property 1560
+ carry amount over tax base 2400
_______________________________
Draft provision 3960
– revaluation of Leased property (1560) ……. charge to equity, no profit or loss
____________________________________
= truely provision 2400
– debit balance of deferred tax (3200) … overprovision
______________________________________________
credit to profit or loss (800)Hope my solution is consistent with logic of sir yours (=^_^=)
and thanks you again ~~

That all look good, but please don’t waste so much time on such a small part of the syllabus.
Thanks
