Quick Summary
This discussion explains how Deferred Tax Assets (DTAs) are created, using a practical example for the 2017-18 financial year. It highlights the difference between book depreciation and tax depreciation, which leads to a temporary difference in taxable profit. This difference results in a DTA being recognised in the company's accounts.
