What’s the difference between “income tax payable this year”
“Income tax charge for the year”
“Charge for the year”
“Current tax?”
?
Income tax for the year (not payable this year) is the liability to carry forward
Income tax charge for the year / current tax for the year is the figure entered as a debit in this year’s statement of profit or loss
Current tax is simply a way of distinguishing one of the tax T accounts from the other (Defered tax)
Tax liability at the end of the year is the carry down figure in either or both of the tax T accounts
Provision for taxation / provision needed for taxation is the same as above – it’s the liability to be carried forward at the end of the year
