I read the answer but didn’t understand fully
191 The following information relates to an entity.
(i) At 1 January 20X8 the carrying amount of non-current assets exceeded their tax written down value by $850,000.
(ii) For the year to 31 December 20X8 the entity claimed depreciation for tax purposes of $500,000 and charged depreciation of $450,000 in the financial statements.
(iii) During the year ended 31 December 20X8 the entity revalued a property. The revaluation surplus was $250,000. There are no current plans to sell the property.
(iv) The tax rate was 30% throughout the year.
What is the provision for deferred tax required by IAS 12 Income Taxes at 31 December 20X8?
A $240,000
B $270,000
C $315,000
D $345,000 —> CorrectAugust 15, 2020 at 10:21 am #580654Hi,
What is it that you do not specifically understand within the answer? If you let me know then I will explain where you are going wrong.
As a starter, the deferred tax liability will be this year’s timing difference multiplied by the tax rate.
Thanks
