Lluckey10y ago
In case there arises deferred tax asset , how should it be treated in income statement and statement of financial statement?

Movement on the deferred tax account will be calculated and treated in "the normal way" - by double entry with the current tax account The current tax charge to the statement of profit or loss and the current tax liability for the statement of financial position will be dealt with in "the normal way" And the deferred tax balance - "Deferred tax" asset will appear as a current asset But it is HIGHLY IMPROBABLE that you will be faced with this, either in the exam or in real life!
