Working with Regional Deferred Tax

The Deferred Tax Regional form is used to view the deferred tax calculation.

Tax Reporting calculates Deferred Tax on assets and liabilities. The calculation requires the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities as inputs. In Tax Reporting, the difference between the book and tax basis is calculated, and the tax rate applied to determine the amount of deferred tax asset and liability.

Table 12-4 Example of Deferred Tax

Example: Property, Plant, Equipment
Book Basis 1,000,000
Tax Basis 900,000
Difference (100,000)
Tax Rate 20%
Deferred Tax Liability (20,000)

Note:

Due to accelerated depreciation for tax purposes, the tax basis is less than the book basis, giving rise to a deferred tax liability.

Total Valuation Allowance

 

This category is used to record valuation allowances against assets as required. The following accounts are provided: Noncurrent, Credits, and TaxLoss.

Credits are entered on a tax-effected basis, while amounts entered in the other accounts are entered on a pretax basis.

The form also provides the classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities as follows:

  • Closing - Current Asset
  • Closing - Current Liability
  • Closing - Noncurrent Asset
  • Closing - Noncurrent Liability

The Non-Current setting, together with the value of the Closing—Total Closing Balance, defines the column in which the amount is displayed. If this balance is positive, then the amount is classified as an Asset. If this balance is negative, then the amount is classified as a Liability. Valuation allowance is classified using a factor of -1 (for example, Closing*-1) and is therefore always reflected as a contra-asset.
