    A comapny’s FS show rpofit before tax $1000 in each years 1,2 & 3. This profit is stated after charging depreciation of $200 per annum. This is due to the purchase of an asset costing $600 in year 1 which is being depreciated over its 3 years useful economic life on a straight line basis.

    The tax allowances granted for the related asset are:

    Year 1-$240
    Year 2-$210
    Year 3-$150

    Income tax is calculated as 30% of taxable profits.

    Apart from the above depreciation and tax allowance there are no other differences between the accounting and taxable profits.

    Required: ignoring deferred tax, prepare statement of Profit or Loss extracts for each year 1,2 & 3

    And my question is, while doing solutions profit before tax in SPL is kept $1000 in each year that is after the deduction of depreciation as per Accounts or we add back the depreciation deducted as per accounts i.e. $1200 and less the depreciation as per tax base and then make calculations further?

    For eg:

    Year 1

    Profit after accounts dep-1000
    Add back dep-200
    Total=1200
    Less Dep as per accounts: 240
    Profit before tax= 960
    Tax= 288
    Profit after tax=672

    Hi,

    What you’ve done above is correct, in that you add back the depreciation to the accounting profit (PBT) and then adjust for the tax depreciation to get the taxable profit.

    Thanks
