FR – May 2018 – L2 – Q6b – Accounting for Income Taxes (IAS 12)

Calculate the deferred tax charge/credit for Lawmarg Nigeria Limited and the deferred tax balance in the statement of financial position.

Lawmarg Nigeria Limited purchased an item of plant for N2,000,000 on October 1, 2014. It had an estimated life of eight years and an estimated residual value of N400,000. The plant is depreciated on a straight-line basis. The tax authorities do not allow depreciation as a deductible expense. Instead, an initial capital allowance of 40% of the cost of this type of asset can be claimed against income tax, and 20% per annum (on a reducing balance basis) of its tax base thereafter. The rate of income tax is 30%.

Required: In respect of the above item of plant, calculate the deferred tax charge/credit in Lawmarg Nigeria Limited’s statement of profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the deferred tax balance in the statement of financial position at that date.
