This discussion addresses a query regarding deferred tax arising from a book loss of Rs. 100 and an income tax loss of Rs. 80. The user seeks clarification on whether this creates a deferred tax liability or asset, and importantly, on which amount (Rs. 100, Rs. 80, or Rs. 20). The consensus is that it creates a deferred tax asset, specifically on the Rs. 80 income tax loss, as this loss can be carried forward and adjusted against future profits.
