    This scenario relates to three requirements.

    After preparing a draft statement of profit or loss for the year ended 30 September 20X5 and adding the current year’s draft profit (before any adjustments required by notes (1) to (3) below) to retained earnings, the summarised trial balance of Kandy Co as at 30 September 20X5 is:

    $’000
    $’000
    Equity shares of $1 each

    20,000
    Retained earnings as at 30 September 20X5

    15,500
    Proceeds of 6% loan note (note (1))

    30,000
    Investment properties at fair value (note (2))
    20,000

    Land ($5 million) and buildings – at cost (note (2))
    35,000

    Plant and equipment – at cost (note (2))
    58,500

    Accumulated depreciation at 1 October 20X4:

    Buildings

    20,000
    Plant and equipment

    34,500
    Current assets
    68,700

    Current liabilities

    43,400
    Deferred tax (notes (2) and (3))

    2,500
    Interest paid (note (1))
    1,800

    Current tax (note (3))

    1,100
    Suspense account (note 2)

    17,000

    184,000
    184,000

    The following notes are relevant:

    (1) The loan note was issued on 1 October 20X4 and incurred issue costs of $1m which were charged to profit or loss. Interest of $1·8m ($30m at 6%) was paid on 30 September 20X5. The loan is redeemable on 30 September 20X9 at a substantial premium which gives an effective interest rate of 9% per annum. No other repayments are due until 30 September 20X9.

    (2) Non-current assets:
    On 1 October 20X4, Kandy Co owned two investment properties. The first property had a carrying amount of $15m and was sold on 1 December 20X4 for $17m. The disposal proceeds have been credited to a suspense account in the trial balance above. On 31 December 20X4, the second property became owner occupied and so was transferred to land and buildings at its fair value of $6m. Its remaining useful life on 31 December 20X4 was considered to be 20 years. Ignore any deferred tax implications of this fair value.

    The price of property has increased significantly in recent years and so the directors decided to revalue the land and buildings. The directors accepted the report of an independent surveyor who, on 1 October 20X4, valued the land at $8m and the buildings at $39m on that date. This revaluation specifically excludes the transferred investment property described above. The remaining life of these buildings at 1 October 20X4 was 15 years. Kandy Co does not make an annual transfer to retained profits to reflect the realisation of the revaluation gain; however, the revaluation will give rise to a deferred tax liability. The income tax rate applicable to Kandy Co is 20%.

    Plant and equipment is depreciated at 12.5% per annum using the reducing balance method. No depreciation has yet been charged on any non-current asset for the year ended 30 September 20X5.

    (3) A provision of $2·4m is required for income tax on the profit for the year to 30 September 20X5. 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 (2), Kandy Co has further taxable temporary differences of $10m as at 30 September 20X5.
    Please help in this question! I am unable to understand the movement of Deferred tax here.
    The figures are
    Opening bal (CR.) 2500
    DTL on Temporary taxable difference- 2000
    and DTL on revaluation of land and building – 6400
    the answer is Increase by 500
    please clarify why and how

    Hi,

    The movement on deferred tax is not entirely due to amounts that go through profit or loss as there is a revaluation of the PPE. Any deferred tax on the revaluation is taken through OCI and so the movement on deferred tax in relation to the revaluation is also taken through OCI too.

    The adjustment in the deferred tax calculation above is the amount that is being taken through OCI in relation to the revaluation.

    Thanks
