Under accounting rules, the company is allowed to recognize full income from the installment sale of general merchandise, while tax laws require companies to recognize the income when installment payments are made. This creates a temporary positive difference between the company's accounting earnings and taxable income, as well as a deferred tax liability.
Deferred tax liability is a record of taxes that have been incurred but have not yet been paid. This line item on a company's balance sheet reserves money for a known future expense. That reduces the cash flow that a company has available to spend, but that's not a bad thing. The money has been earmarked for a specific purpose, i. The company could be in trouble if it spends that money on anything else. A deferred tax liability usually occurs when standard company accounting rules differ from the accounting methods used by the government.
The depreciation of fixed assets is a common example. Companies typically report depreciation in their financial statements with a straight-line depreciation method. Essentially, this evenly depreciates the asset over time. But for tax purposes, the company will use an accelerated depreciation approach. Using this method, the asset depreciates at a greater rate in its early years.

Because qualified withdrawals from Roth IRAs are federal-income-tax-free, Roth accounts offer the opportunity for outright tax avoidance, as opposed to tax deferral.
The Roth k deal is basically a traditional k plan with a Roth account feature added. If your employer offers a k plan with the Roth option, you can contribute after-tax dollars to a designated Roth account DRA set up under the plan. The DRA is a separate account from which you can eventually take federal-income-tax-free qualified distributions.
HSA contributions are deductible and withdrawals are federal-income-tax-free when used to cover qualified medical expenses. So, HSAs offer outright tax avoidance, as opposed to tax deferral. You must have a qualifying high-deductible health insurance policy and no other general health coverage to be eligible for the HSA contribution privilege.
There are three exceptions to the requirement to recognise a deferred tax liability, as follows:. An entity undertaken a business combination which results in the recognition of goodwill in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The goodwill is not tax depreciable or otherwise recognised for tax purposes. As no future tax deductions are available in respect of the goodwill, the tax base is nil. Accordingly, a taxable temporary difference arises in respect of the entire carrying amount of the goodwill.
However, the taxable temporary difference does not result in the recognition of a deferred tax liability because of the recognition exception for deferred tax liabilities arising from goodwill. A deferred tax asset is recognised for deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised, unless the deferred tax asset arises from: [IAS Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests in joint arrangements, are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and that taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference will be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Any such reduction is subsequently reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for an unused tax loss carryforward or unused tax credit if, and only if, it is considered probable that there will be sufficient future taxable profit against which the loss or credit carryforward can be utilised. Consistent with the principles underlying IAS 12, the tax consequences of transactions and other events are recognised in the same way as the items giving rise to those tax consequences.
Accordingly, current and deferred tax is recognised as income or expense and included in profit or loss for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from: [IAS An entity undertakes a capital raising and incurs incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction, including regulatory fees, legal costs and stamp duties. In accordance with the requirements of IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation , the costs are accounted for as a deduction from equity.
Assume that the costs incurred are immediately deductible for tax purposes, reducing the amount of current tax payable for the period. When the tax benefit of the deductions is recognised, the current tax amount associated with the costs of the equity transaction is recognised directly in equity, consistent with the treatment of the costs themselves.
IAS 12 provides the following additional guidance on the recognition of income tax for the period:. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities can only be offset in the statement of financial position if the entity has the legal right and the intention to settle on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities can only be offset in the statement of financial position if the entity has the legal right to settle current tax amounts on a net basis and the deferred tax amounts are levied by the same taxing authority on the same entity or different entities that intend to realise the asset and settle the liability at the same time.
The amount of tax expense or income related to profit or loss is required to be presented in the statement s of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The tax effects of items included in other comprehensive income can either be shown net for each item, or the items can be shown before tax effects with an aggregate amount of income tax for groups of items allocated between items that will and will not be reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
