Tax– effect Accounting RequirementsTax– effect Accounting Requirements
• Items reported in the financial statements need to show tax consequences
• Different ‘tax-effect’ methods– Liability method -> original AASB 1020– Deferral method– Balance sheet method -> new AASB 1020
Balance Sheet MethodBalance Sheet Method
• Main features– Allocation of income tax based on
assets/liabilities per SAC4– Focuses on ‘valuation’ issue– Considers ‘deferred’ tax assets and liabilities– No permanent differences
Balance Sheet MethodBalance Sheet Method
• Main features – Temporary not timing differences– Includes: revaluations, investments in
subsidiaries and foreign exchange differences– Deferred tax assets/liabilities recognised when
“more probable than not”
Balance Sheet MethodBalance Sheet Method
• Based on differences between 2 balance sheets– Actual (accounting based)– Notional (tax based)– Defined tax base important
Differences -> temporary -> deferred tax Asset/Liability
Balance Sheet MethodBalance Sheet Method
Carrying amounts of assets or liabilities- Tax bases of assets or liabilities= Assessable or deductible temporary
differencesx Tax rates= Deferred tax liabilities or assets
Carrying amounts of assets or liabilities- Tax bases of assets or liabilities= Assessable or deductible temporary
differencesx Tax rates= Deferred tax liabilities or assets
Balance Sheet MethodBalance Sheet Method
• Deferred tax assets (DTA)– Income taxes recoverable in future reporting
periods in respect of:• Deductible temporary differences, and• The carry forward of unused tax losses
• Deferred tax liabilities (DTL)– Income taxes to be settles in future reporting
periods in respect of assessable temporary differences

Temporary differences The difference between the carrying amount of
an asset or a liability in the statement of financial position and its tax base

‘future tax consequences’
Balance Sheet MethodBalance Sheet Method
• Exceptions to the recognition of DTAs and DTLs– Goodwill– Initial recognition of assets and liabilities– Investments in subsidiaries, associates and
joint ventures

Recording Tax Under the Balance Recording Tax Under the Balance Sheet MethodSheet Method
• Multiple tax-effect items– Accounting procedures depend on whether:
• items are being recognised initially• items were recognised in a previous period• items are capable of being offset• the benefit is likely to be realised in the future
Recording Tax Under the Balance Recording Tax Under the Balance Sheet MethodSheet Method
• Impact of a tax loss– Generally carried forward to offset against
future assessable income– Give rise to deferred tax assets– Must be probable they will be realised
• Tax losses and derecognition of DTLs
Recording Tax Under the Balance Recording Tax Under the Balance Sheet MethodSheet Method
• Tax loss disclosures– Revenues recognised from the derecognition of
DTA arising from prior period tax losses– The impact of the recognition or recoupment of
tax losses– The amount of deferred tax losses for which no
DTA has been recognised– Nature and evidence of DTAs

• Tax rate to be used and changes to tax rate– Initial recognition
• Capital gains tax– Subsequent recognition

• Reassessment of carrying amount of DTAs and DTLs– Reviewed at each reporting date– Reassess ‘probability’ issues
• Set-off of tax assets and tax liabilities– Refer AASB 1040, 1014 and 1033– Must have ‘legal right of set-off’
