QUESTION 2: Accounting for income tax
Each of the eight statements below is either true (T) or false (F):
(a) Information: At the end of the financial year, a company has a taxable profit of $200,000 and an accounting profit before tax of $250,000. The tax rate is 28%.
Statement: Therefore, under the taxes payable method, the tax expense reported in the Income Statement will be $56,000.
(b) Statement: Companies can discount their deferred tax assets or liabilities.
(c) Statement: The tax base of the liability ‘revenue received in advance’ is its carrying amount minus any amount of the revenue that will be not taxable in future periods.
(d) Statement: If the accounting carrying amount of a liability is greater than its tax base, there is a taxable temporary difference.
(e) Information: At the beginning of the financial year, the opening balance of the prepayment for insurance was $5,000. During the financial year, the company prepaid $20,000 for the insurance. $18,000 insurance expense was recognised in the Income Statement of the financial year. For tax purposes, insurance expense is deductible when paid.
Statement: Therefore, on balance date, the accounting carrying amount of prepayment for insurance is $3,000, and the tax base of prepayment for insurance is $0.
(f) Information: At the beginning of the financial year, the opening balance of the rent revenue
received in advance was $20,000. During the financial year, the company received $90,000 cash with respect to rent. In the Income Statement, an amount of $100,000 was recognised as rent revenue this year. For tax purposes, rent revenue is taxable when cash is received. Statement: Therefore, on balance date, the accounting carrying amount of rent revenue received in advance is $90,000, and the tax base of rent revenue received in advance is $100,000.
(g) Information: A company has recognised $90,000 warranty expense in the Income Statement of the financial year. At the beginning of the financial year, the opening balance of the provision for provision for warranty was $60,000. At the end of the financial year, the closing balance of the provision for warranty was $100,000. For tax purposes, warranty expense is deductible when it is incurred.
Statement: Therefore, for tax purposes, the accounting carrying amount of provision for warranty is $100,000, and the tax base of provision for warranty is 0.
(h) Information: On the Balance Sheet, there is an investment of $1m in Government bonds, which pays interest of 10% per annum. For tax purposes, the interest income from these government bonds is never taxable.
Statement: Therefore, on balance date, there is no deferred tax to be recognised from the investment in Government bonds.
Required:
According to NZ IAS 12,
• indicate for each of the eight statements above whether it is T or F.
• If the statement is false, rewrite the statement to make it true.
