    Study Notes

    Revalued Asset Considerations

    • Revalued assets are carried at fair value, less accumulated depreciation/impairment.
    • Temporary differences arise if the tax base isn't adjusted equally.
    • If the tax base is adjusted, no temporary difference arises.
    • Revaluation impacts deferred tax(liability/asset) recognition.

    Revaluation Effects

    • An upward revaluation (e.g., from 100to100 to 100to180) creates no temporary difference if the tax base is adjusted correspondingly.
    • If the tax base remains unchanged, a temporary difference (taxable) results.

    Deferred Tax Recognition on Revaluation

    • Deferred tax impacts are consistent with the accounting treatment.
    • Recognition is in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) if the revaluation is in OCI.
    • If in equity, deferred tax also goes in equity.

    Recovery of Revalued Assets

    • Tax base calculation considers expected recovery methods (use or sale).
    • Use: Future taxable income equals revalued amount; future deductible = tax written-down amount.
    • Sale: Capital gains tax applies; proceeds taxable above initial cost/tax cost base.

    Non-Depreciable Asset Recovery

    • For non-depreciable assets, tax consequences follow the sale method.

    Financial Statement Presentation

    • Current and deferred tax assets/liabilities are separate line items in the statement of financial position.
    • IAS 1 prohibits deferred tax as current assets/liabilities.
    • Current tax amounts can be net when there's a legal right and net settlement intent.
    • Deferred tax amounts are net if a shared tax authority.

    Major Components of Tax Expense

    • Major components of tax expense are disclosed separately, usually in the notes.
    • Components include current tax adjustments, deferred tax adjustments, and temp. diff adjustments.

    Relationship Between Tax Expense and Accounting Profit

    • IAS 12 requires a reconciliation between tax expense (tax income) and accounting profit.
    • Explains differences and impacts on both accounting and tax treatment.

    Temporary Difference Information

    • Disclosure requirements for each temporary difference type include recognised amounts in the statement of financial position and income statement effects.
    • Amounts of deferred tax assets/liabilities for each temporary difference are necessary.
    • Unrecognised deferred tax assets are also disclosed, including unused tax losses/credits.
