Deferred Tax:
Profit Before Tax as computed in the Profit and Loss Account as per Companies Act has difference with the Taxable Income computed on the basis of Income Tax Act, 1961.This is because there are differences in tax treatment of various items charged as per accounting principles and tax provisions.
This tax difference arises because of Timing Difference and Permanent Difference.
Timing difference for example may arise because of difference in depreciation in accounting and tax purposes or provision created in the profit and loss account as per companies act may not be allowed as per income tax act and such may be allowed only after an expense or loss for which the provision is made is actually incurred.
Permanent difference may arise as in taking income as per companies act income on tax free interest is also taken into account but the same is not considered as income as per income tax act.
Tax effect of timing difference is called deferred tax. When additional tax liability arises because of accounting income is more than taxable income and the difference is reversible deferred tax liability is to be created. Similarly, when tax payable as per taxable income is more than tax liablilty as per accounting profit and the difference is temporary in nature, deferred tax asset should be created.
