6y ago#1(2) has no tax consequences so would have no impact on the deferred tax account.
(3) there is no temporary difference
Sir why there is no temporary difference in 3)?
6y ago#3Sorry, my bad. There would be a temporary difference as the interest payable would be accrued and therefore a temporary difference to when the tax is paid. The resulting entry would be a debit to the deferred tax account as the carrying value of the liability is less than the tax base of nil.
Thanks
