    In December 20X5, Mighty IT Co revalued its corporate headquarters. Prior to the revaluation, the carrying amount of the
    building was $2m and it was revalued to $2·5m.
    Mighty IT Co also revalued a sales office on the same date. The office had been purchased for $500,000 earlier in the
    year, but subsequent discovery of defects reduced its value to $400,000. No depreciation had been charged on the sales
    office and any impairment loss is allowable for tax purposes.
    Mighty It Co’s income tax rate is 30%.

    thanks for your previous help mike

    can u just tell me what is the carrying value, tax base and taxable difference of the sale office pls

    also, how will this be possible – One way or another, that original cost of $500,000 will be allowed against the profits for tax purposes

    OK?

    Why would it not be possible?

    $100,000 is allowable straight away as an impairment

    The remaining $400,000 will be allowable by way of capital allowances

    OK?
