    Hi please explain how the deferred tax is calculated in this question. I went through the answer kit as well and I still don’t understand. This question is from the Kaplan Exam kit, Q.387

    Contract to construct asset (note (i)
    4,000
    Lease rental paid on 30 September 20X3 (note (ii))
    9,200
    Land ($12 million) and building ($48 million) at cost (note (ii)
    60,000
    Leased plant at initial carrying amount (note (i)
    35,000
    Accumulated depreciation at 1 October 20X2:
    building
    leased plant
    Inventory at 30 September 20X3
    Trade receivables
    Bank
    Insurance provision (note (ii))
    Deferred tax (note (iv))
    Lease liability at 1 October 20X2 (note (ii)
    Trade payables
    Equity shares of $1 each
    Loan note (note (v))
    Retained earnings at 30 September 20X3
    10,000
    7,000
    56,600
    38,500
    7,300
    150
    8,000
    29,300
    21,300
    27,000
    40,000
    53,250
    203,300
    203,300

    A provision income tax for the year ended 30 September 20X3 of $3.4 million is
    required. At 30 September 20X3, the
    tax base of Moby’s net assets was $24 million
    less than their carrying amounts. This does not include the effect of the revaluation in
    note (ii) above. The income tax rate of Moby is 25%.

    I would really appreciate an explanation. The deferred tax portion is tricky for me. Thank you!!

    Hi,

    What is it specifically that you do not understand? What part of the question related to deferred tax have yo understood?

    In this instance we are given the temporary difference of $24 million but not all of this at 25% will be taken through profit or loss as there has been a revaluation. The amount related to the revaluation will go through OCI, so we need to work out how much this is using the additional information given in the question.

    Thanks
