Hi Team,
I am having a problem to prepare a T account to calculate the tax liability, where i need your help on following 2 question
Q134) Jasper Orange Co’s trial balance at 31 Dec 20X3 shows a debit balance of $700,000 on current tax and a credit balance of $8,400,000 on deferred tax. the directors have estimated the provision for income tax for the year at $4.5 million and the required deerred tax provision is $5.6 million, $1.2 million of which relates to property revaluation.
What is the tax liability recognized in Jasper Orange Co’s statement of financial position for the year ended 31 Dec 20×3?
Hi,
The $700,000 goes on the left hand side of the tax payable T-account as it is a debit balance. The closing position of $4.5 million is on the debit side as it is then brought forward on the credit side next year so that it can be paid. The balancing figure is then what is recorded within the statement of profit or loss.
The answer to the question however is the $4.5 million as this is the liability at the reporting date.
Thanks
Hi there,
Thank you for your response,
however, it doesn’t match with the answer provided in the back of book.
here is the answer
$000
Prior year underprovision 700
Current provision 4,500
Movement of Deferred tax (8.4-5.6) (2,800)
Deferred tax on revaluation surplus (1,200)Tax liability for the year 1,200)
The problem is that I am unable to summarize the answer in T table format for my future reference for similar kind of question
Thanks again for your kind response in advance.

ArjunHi,
If they want the tax liability on the SFP, which is what the question you posed is asking, then this is the $4.5 million. The answer that is being given is the tax expense through profit or loss.
Use the T-account as described to look at the current tax expense, and then adjust this for the movement on deferred tax.
Thanks
