You don’t need to apply for an extension if you submit the report before the new due date. Weight: 20 marks Word limit: 2000 words 2 Instructions for the report This task requires you to prepare a report to evaluate and comment on recognition and measurement regarding deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. You need to choose a company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and provide your evaluation regarding relevant presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Your comments or evaluation can refer to paragraphs of relevant Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs). Paragraph 20 of AASB 112 has states: ” In some jurisdictions, the revaluation or other restatement of an asset to fair value affects taxable profit (tax loss) for the current period. As a result, the tax base of the asset is adjusted and no temporary difference arises. In other jurisdictions, the revaluation or restatement of an asset does not affect taxable profit in the period of the revaluation or restatement and, consequently, the tax base of the asset is not adjusted. Nevertheless, the future recovery of the carrying amount will result in a taxable flow of economic benefits to the entity and the amount that will be deductible for tax purposes will differ from the amount of those economic benefits. The difference between the carrying amount of a revalued asset and its tax base is a temporary difference and gives rise to a deferred tax liability or asset.” Discussions and Questions: You should answer questions listed in parts A and B in the report. Part A (10 marks) 1) “Revaluation of non-current asset doesn’t impact the recognition of future tax associated with that asset”. Evaluate this statement. (4 marks) 2) Discuss whether revaluation of non-current asset will lead to a deferred tax asset or a tax liability. (2 marks) 3) In your opinion, comment whether the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability meet the definition and recognition for an asset and a liability according to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. (4 marks) 3 Part B (7 marks) 4) Provide and comment on an example (other than revaluation of non-current assets) that leads to a deferred tax asset in the chosen company.
