for deferred tax, i notice tax base of asset and liability must be larger than carrying value.
at the same time there must be sufficient taxable profit in the future.
That means those 2 criteria must be present or just 1 among those two will do ?

Please see here for assumed knowledge https://www.accaglobal.com/sg/en/student/exam-support-resources/fundamentals-exams-study-resources/f7/technical-articles/deferred-tax.html2. The 2nd criteria applies only to a deferred tax asset. In the simplest of terms, a deferred tax asset arises if the company has been making losses – the asset will only be realised in future if there are profits against which to offset brought forward losses (according to national tax legislation).
