Object of this standard :

In numbers of cases , accounting income (profit as per books of account or P&L) is different from taxable income (income calculation for tax liability as IT act) . it is due to expenses debited in P&L a/c but not allowed as per IT ACT and difference in depreciation rates between company act and IT act. Said differences  are of two types

  1. Timing difference : Difference between taxable income and income as per P&L a/c is time being in nature and will get reversed in subsequent years like difference in Depreciation between IT act and company act
  2. Permanent difference : It is permanent in nature and will not get reversed in subsequent years like cash payment >20K etc

 

To calculate and recognising such differences in financial statement is an object of this standard

As per this accounting standard the income tax expense should be treated just like any other  expense on accrual basis irrespective of the timing of payment. Tax expense consist of current tax and deffered tax.

Current Tax : it is amount of income tax

Deffered Tax : Deffered tax is a tax effect of timing difference. It may be liability or Assets

Deferred Tax Liability (DTL)

Deferred Tax Assets (DTA)

It is provision for future taxation . It is made when we have to pay less tax in current year but in future we will pay more tax. So we create provision for future tax which we will pay

Example

Depreciation as per company act is less than Income tax act

 

 

 

 

P&L    A/c       Dr

         To DTL

It is recognition of future tax benefit which we will receive. It is made when we have to pay more tax in current year but in future we will be paying less tax. So we will create DTA as we will receive tax benefit in future.

Example

  1. Depreciation as per company act is more than the income tax act
  2. If TDS not deposited , Expenses will be disallowed  but in future deposited then expenses will be allowed

 

DTA    A/c    Dr.

Case 2

Case 3

If TDS deducted on expenses

 

Income -  1000

Expenses -  700

Profit – 300
