Conceptual Framework & Acctg.
3 Standards (by: Zeus Vernon B. Millan) Permanent differences • Permanent differences are those that do not have future tax consequences. • Examples: a. Interest income on government bonds and treasury bills b. Interest income on bank deposits c. Dividend income d. Fines, surcharges, and penalties arising from violation of law e. Life insurance premium on employees where the entity is the irrevocable beneficiary Conceptual Framework & Acctg. 4 Standards (by: Zeus Vernon B. Millan) Temporary differences • Temporary differences are those that have future tax consequences. Temporary differences are either: a. Taxable temporary differences – arise, for example, when financial income is greater than taxable income or the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its tax base. b. Deductible temporary differences arise in case of the opposites of the foregoing. • Taxable temporary differences result to deferred tax liabilities while deductible temporary differences result to deferred tax assets. Conceptual Framework & Acctg. 5 Standards (by: Zeus Vernon B. Millan) Deferred taxes
• If the increase in deferred tax liability exceeds the increase in
deferred tax asset, the difference is deferred tax expense. If it is the opposite, the difference is deferred tax income or benefit. • A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is realizable. • Deferred taxes are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates that are applicable to the periods of their expected reversals. • Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. • Deferred tax asset and liabilities are presented as non-current.
