ED/2019/5/Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities

Hello Sir! Hope you are doing well. I don't have the latest SBR book so I don't have the information on the ED proposal related to the deferred tax. I would be grateful if you could give a summary of it.

Lessee accounting; On date lease starts, let us say that: Lease asset = 100 Lease liability = 80 Do we recognise DT? Some companies have nor been doing so. This is because IAS 12 has a strange exemption for 'initial recognition of transactions which on that date do not affect profit and loss' The ED says you must reflect DT. https://www.xrb.govt.nz/accounting-standards/standards-in-development/closed-for-comment/iasb-ed-20195/#:~:text=The%20IASB%20has%20recently%20issued%20an%20exposure%20draft%2C,for%20under%20IFRS%2016%20Leases%29%20and%20decommissioning%20obligations. Be calm. (The reference above is a New Zealand document) but it summarises the rule.
