For the year ended 30 September 20X2, KJ’s statement of profit or loss included a profit before tax of $247,000. KJ’s expenses included political donations of $19,000 and entertaining expenses of $11,000.
KJ’s statement of financial position at 30 September 20X2 included plant and machinery with a carrying value of $168,500. This is comprised of plant purchased on 1 October 20X0 at a cost of $280,000 and machinery purchased on 1 October 20X1 at a cost of $150,000.
KJ depreciates all plant and machinery on the straight line basis at 10% per year.
All expenses other than depreciation, amortisation, entertaining, taxes paid to other public bodies and donations to political parties are tax deductible.
Tax depreciation is deductible as follows:
50% of additions to property, plant and equipment in the accounting period in which they are recorded
25% per year of the written-down value (i.e. cost minus previous allowances) in subsequent accounting periods except that in which the asset is disposed of.
The corporate tax on profits is at a rate of 25%.
Calculate the tax payable by KJ for the year to 30 September 20X2.

Can someone please explain how the Tax depreciation part is worked out?

Hi Saiyini, which parts not making sense for you?
As the question states the TAX DEPRECIATION is:
• 50% depreciated in year of purchase
• 25% in the following years (year 2,3,4...)
We are calculating the depreciation in 2002 so all assets acquired between 01 Oct 2001 - 30 September 2002 are depreciated @ 50%. They purchased an asset on the 01 Oct 2001 so this is depreciated @ 50%.
• 150 000 x 50% = 75 000
All other assets not bought between 01 Oct 2001 - 30 September 2002 are depreciated @ 25% of their CARRY VALUE.
• Asset purchased for 280 000 on the 01 Oct 2000 will be depreciated @ 25% of it's carry value as this wasn't a purchase in the current financial year but in a prior financial year:
• 280 000 x 50% = 140 000 (depreciation for 1st year, 01 Oct 2000 - 30 Sep 2001)
• 140 000 x 25% = 35 000 (Depreciation for 2nd year, 01 Oct 2001 - 30 Sep 2002)
Total Tax depreciation 01 Oct 2001 - 30 Sep 2002: 75 000 + 35 000 = 110 000
Hope this helps
That makes sense thank you so much
