Conceptual F/W VS IAS 12

Ttinkle5y ago
Hello Sir, I hope you're well. I'm confused about the consistency between conceptual framework and IAS 12 recognition criteria. The kit says that, 'Conceptual F/W states when probability of inflow/out flow is low disclose in notes however IAS 12 requires Deferred Tax to be recognized even if possibility is low' While reading the study text I didn't come across this inconsistency, as the revised conceptual framework doesn't talk about the probability but the potential to produce economic benefits. Kindly shed some light on this one.

You make a fair point. IAS 12 requires us to recognise DT on a revaluation even if we have no intention of ever selling the asset. I cannot see how that is relevant to users. As always, IAS 12 takes precedence over Framework.
