22 June 2010 WHAT IS THE TREATMENT OF DTA AND DTL WHEN COMPANY IS PAYING TAX AS PER MAT.

22 June 2010 Measurement

Current tax should be measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws.


Deferred tax assets and liabilities should be measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Explanation:

The payment of tax under section 115JB of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Act’) is a current tax for the period.

In a period in which a company pays tax under section 115JB of the Act, the deferred tax assets and liabilities in respect of timing differences arising during the period, tax effect of which is required to be recognised under this Standard, is measured using the regular tax rates and not the tax rate under section 115JB of the Act.

In case an enterprise expects that the timing differences arising in the current period would reverse in a period in which it may pay tax under section 115JB of the Act, the deferred tax assets and liabilities in respect of timing differences arising during the current period, tax effect of which is required to be recognised under AS 22, is measured using the regular tax rates and not the tax rate under section 115JB of the Act.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are usually measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted. However, certain announcements of tax rates and tax laws by the Government may have the substantive affect of actual enactment. In these circumstances, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using such announced tax rate and tax laws.


When different tax rates apply to different levels of taxable income, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using average rates.

Deferred tax to be computed at normal income tax rates only.
