Tax accounting updates Amendments to IAS 12 – recognition of deferred tax assets
• Purpose- To clarify the deferred tax treatment for debt instruments
- To clarify the determination of “future taxable profit” for the recognition of deferred tax
assets
• Amendments issued January 2016 – effective for fiscal years beginning on or
after January 1, 2017- Amendments to be applied retrospectively
- On initial application the change in the opening equity of the earliest comparative period
may be recognized in opening retained earnings (or in another component of equity, as
appropriate), without allocating the change between opening retained earnings and
other components of equity

Tax accounting updates Amendments to IAS 12 – recognition of deferred tax assets (cont’d)
• Deferred tax treatment of debt instruments
- Existence of a DTD on debt instruments measured at fair value depends solely on an
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset and its tax base at the end of the
reporting period
- The existence of the DTD is not affected by possible future changes in the carrying
amount or expected manner of recovery of the asset
- Assuming that the tax base remains at the original cost of the debt instrument, there is a
temporary difference
Can the deferred tax asset be recognized
if the bottom line of the tax return is an
expected loss?

Tax accounting updates Amendments to IAS 12 – recognition of deferred tax assets (cont’d)
• Determination of future taxable profits for the recognition of deferred tax assets
- Recognition of a DTD is based on future taxable profits which is the bottom line of the
tax return adjusted for the reversing taxable temporary differences (TTD) and DTDs to
avoid double counting
- First step: as per existing requirements determine if there are TTDs that reverse and
generate taxable income against which the DTD can be utilized
- Second step: Determine future taxable profit
- Bottom line of tax return less TTD plus DTD = future taxable profit
- Third step: Add amounts from step 1 and 2 and apply the tax rate

Tax accounting updates Draft IFRIC interpretation – accounting for uncertainties in income taxes
• Key points- Scope: the proposals would apply to current and deferred taxes whenever there are uncertainties in
the amount of income tax payable / recoverable. Uncertainties related to income taxes would be
accounted for under IAS 12 and not IAS 37
- Recognition: an entity would reflect an uncertainty in the amount of income tax payable / recoverable
if it is probable that it will pay or recover an amount for the uncertainty – i.e. the proposals are
expected to introduce a probability based outflow recognition threshold
- Measurement: a tax uncertainty would be measured at most likely amount or at expected value
depending on whichever method better predicts the amount payable / recoverable (similar to IFRS
15 approach)
- Examination by tax authorities: the underlying assumption would be that a tax authority will examine
all amounts reported and will have full knowledge of all relevant information. If facts and
circumstances change, then an entity would reassess the judgements made. In addition, rule-based
guidance for releasing the liability would be provided
• Expected impact- As there is diversity in existing practice, the proposed changes could possibly represent a significant
change for some entities, but not for others

Tax accounting updates Indefinite life intangible assets when measuring deferred tax
• Request to clarify how to determine expected manner of recovery of indefinite life
intangible asset for purposes of measuring deferred tax - For financial reporting purposes, intangible asset considered to have indefinite life and therefore not
amortized
- Applicable tax law allows or requires asset to be amortized and amortization deductible
- As a result, asset’s tax base differs from its carrying amount
• Observations- Paragraph 51 of IAS 12 states that measurement of deferred taxes reflect tax consequences that
would follow from the manner in which expected to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets
and liabilities
- Paragraph 51B of IAS 12 provides specific guidance that deferred taxes on non-depreciable assets
measured reflecting tax consequences of a sale
- Allowed application of guidance in paragraph 51B of IAS 12 by analogy to non-amortizable intangible
assets
- Committee, however, noted that guidance in paragraph 51B of IAS 12 limited to non-depreciable
property, plant and equipment → such assets are different from intangible assets with indefinite
useful life
- Committee indicated that for non-amortizable intangible assets, deferred taxes measured by applying
general measurement requirements

Tax accounting updates Indefinite life intangible assets when measuring deferred tax (cont’d)
• Next steps- Entities should consider the following:
• Identify whether any intangible assets affected – e.g. related deferred taxes
measured at “sales” tax rate
• Consider whether such intangible assets expected to be recovered through use or
through sale
• If expected that intangible assets carrying amount won’t be recovered through sale,
then re-measure deferred tax balances
• Determine where to recognize the corresponding entry in the earliest period
presented

Alberta carbon levy Issues relating to joint ventures
• Initially the TRA had suggested that the operator of a JV must register each JV in
the province separately regardless of a remittance requirement. They have since
backtracked on that despite that it clearly requires it in the legislation.
Issues relating to reporting
• Still very early to see what will be reported on the returns.
• Screen shots are available on the TRA website.
• Complexity lies in natural gas reporting.

M&A trends in the energy sectorIncreasingly complex transactions pose new challenges to realizing value
The global ENR sector is experiencing a surge in the number of “mega-mergers”, a trend that is
expected to continue in the near future
Volatility in oil prices, economic and political instability, and the need to consolidate position in a dynamic market have been the
driving forces behind so-called “mega-mergers” (deals valued at over US$5.0 billion). Between 2011-2015, the industry
witnessed 31 such transactions, with another 8 announced through the first three quarters of 2016.

However, the strategic advantage of these mergers quickly vanishes if integration is unsuccessful
and the deal rationale is not achieved
Large, cross-border transactions are inherently complex endeavors that result in equally complex integrations. Cultural clash,
archaic IT systems and operational re-alignment are among the biggest integration challenges faced in ENR mega-mergers.
These issues, among others, can rapidly erode deal value if not appropriately managed.
The landscape is shifting from domestic to Asia led cross-border deals
Historically large transactions in this sector have tended to be domestic deals led by American and European players; however,
this is set to change as more mega-mergers are expected to be cross-border transactions led by Asian firms.
Installing a best practice integration program can significantly increase the likelihood of success.
Integration planning should be incorporated into the due diligence process to enable early identification of material issues.

Rising number of large cross-border dealsIn 2016, KPMG conducted extensive research into M&A activity in the ENR
sector between 2011-2015, resulting in the following key findings:
Rise of the Mega-Merger - Between 2011-2015, the industry
witnessed 31 “mega-mergers” (transactions valued over US$5.0
billion), with the total deal value increasing at a compounded annual
growth rate of 17.4%.
Market forces driving M&A activity - Volatility in oil prices,
economic & political instability and the need to secure position in a
dynamic market were seen to be key driving forces.
Moreover, continued focus on cost reduction, portfolio optimization
and rigorous project management in an environment of fluctuating oil
prices is expected to push ENR companies to continue to favour
large, “merger-of-equals” transactions
Increase in cross-border activity anticipated - Between 2011-
2015, 61% of mega-mergers in the ENR sector were domestic
transactions, predominantly led by the US; however, this is expected
to change.
We anticipate the increasing appetite of Asian investors for overseas
assets is likely to drive more mega-mergers led by Asian firms
(particularly from China).

Challenges
Legacy systems and outdated
applications present across the
industry are likely to impede IT
integration may put operations at
risk
Cultural differences can impact
efficiency and lead to increased
turnover. Moreover, cross-border
transactions can exacerbate
differences in corporate culture
Ineffective management of supplier contracts and
eliminating contractual overlaps can impact operations
and timely achievement of synergies
Customer retention can be
particularly challenging through an
integration process.
The magnitude and complexity of
ENR operations makes integrating
and streamlining very challenging
Loss of employees with key skills or institutional
knowledge can pose a significant risk to operations

Best practicesProactively addressing common “mega-merger” challenges is key to success
Integration Program
Management
Establish strong program governance, including appropriate executive leadership
Create dedicated integration teams early in the transaction process, including
employees from both organizations as soon as possible (i.e. post-signing)
1
Integration Approach Identify a clear approach to integration early on to provide direction and avoid confusion
i.e. Hostile vs. friendly “best of both”
2
Communication Develop targeted internal (employee) and external (customer / supplier) communication
strategies
Include clear key messages and timeline for roll-out
3
Employee Retention Identify select employees that possess skills or institutional knowledge that will be key to
continued operations / success of the combined entity
Implement targeted retention strategies as needed to mitigate risk
4
Cultural Integration Assess cultural differences across the two organizations, beginning during the due
diligence process
Develop a plan to address key cultural differences, diffuse tension
5
Contract Management Develop detailed contract management strategy as soon as possible (within the first 100
days) to ensure business operations continue to run smoothly, and planned synergies
are achieved on time.
