What is the treatment of deferred tax in accounts?When it will become NIL?
18 December 2009
Ms. Gayathri; I explained deferred tax previously without getting any thanks from your side !
The example is like that :
Tax payable as per books : 10000
Tax payable as per computation : 4000
So in future ultimately you have to pay Rs.6,000/- as income tax. This is treated as Deferred Tax Liability. The opposite is Deferred Tax Asset.
When book profits and computed profits under Income tax are same then deferred tax will be nil.
Theoritically; at one point of time; the difference will be set off.
But practically; the difference will continue because there will always be a difference in book profits and computed profits.

Deferred tax should be recognized for all timing differences subject to consideration of prudence in respect of deferred tax assets.
