Carrying value is the amount still to be depreciated so that's the value that will be used in accounting to reduce profits and arrive at taxable profits. But tax base is the value of the asset that remains to be claimed against tax as allowable in e process of converting assets into expenses as the assets are used up. And that figure is lower so whereas we are reducing accounting profits by the carrying value, for tax reasons that reduction is limited to the tax base. Hence profits subject to tax will be greater than accounting profits Does that do it for you?

you means that if capital allowance is given in full in first year of asset useful life the taxman deduct it from first year profit to arrive at taxable profit but actually that relief or capital allowance relate to the future depreciation so deffered tax ensure that it should be reliefed against profit when actually depreciation occurs so this means that actually relief is given in first year but we follow accrual concept by matching depreciation with tax relief by making deffered tax its liability because we should consume asset in next years is i am thinking right
