Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to adjust a deferred tax liability from a previous financial year that appears as a credit balance on the balance sheet. Participants share calculation examples and point to external resources, including blog posts and a YouTube video, offering detailed analysis and practical guidance on making these adjustments.

Supposing if previous year’s Deferred tax liability Cr. In the balance sheet is 1000₹, PBT is 10,000, Current tax rate is 20%, then:

PBT 10,000₹

-2000₹ (10000*20%) 

- Deferred tax 1,000

= 7000₹ PAT.

when you have previous years balance as 500₹ provision for deferred tax in SOFP, the:

10000₹

-2000₹

-(500-1000) 500₹

= 7,500₹ PAT.
