AS - 22 doubt

I am facing difficulty in AS 22. I am studying AS on self study basis.

1. I understand that DTA helps us pay lesser tax in nxt years & DTL needs us to pay more tax in later years.
 Is this correct?

2. How to identify DTA & DTL? Pls tell me the logic. I cant identify whn it comes to uncommon items!

Thanks

First, we pay the income tax on the book profit basis, therefor income tax calculated on the net profit basis might be diffferent.

Suppose,

we pay income tax on the basis of  Book profit (Calculated as per provision of income tax) is 300000/-

and profit  as per profit and loss account is  200000/-

Hence income tax will be:-

    as per book profit                                   =300000*30%=90000

    as per Profit and loss statement        =200000*30%=60000

            Balance                                                                      =30000

It means we have paid excess tax over tax (on the basis of profit and loss statement), Therefor we have to create a DTA.

 

for DTL  Vice versa

  Considered in P&L Considered in IT Profit Tax Deferred Tax
Expenditure Yes No More profit as per IT More Tax paid as per IT Create DTA
  No Yes Less profit as per IT Less Tax paid as per IT Create DTL
Income Yes No Less profit as per IT Less Tax paid as per IT Create DTL
  No Yes More profit as per IT More Tax paid as per IT Create DTA

thanks to both
