leases and DT current issues

Dear professor, assume ROUA and lease liability value to $4m at inception. in that consider the following: If the tax deduction received is in respect of the leased asset then: the right-of use asset has a tax base of $4 million. I don't understand this professor! why will tax base be of $4m?

should not it be zero? Moreover i have doubt related to tax base of lease liability also- what will be its tax base if lease liability is not allowed for by the local tax jurisdiction?

If asset and liability are same figure - no DT If they are different - DT EG Lease asset 100 Lease liability 120 We net off the two - net liability 20 Multiply by the tax rate x20% = 4 A net liability would give rise to a DT asset (just as a net liability would give rise to a DT liability) I would avoid the word tax base as you will get confused. All they want to know is the DT asset or liability
