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
203,300A 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!!

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
