Dear all!

For Goodwill valuation, in a problem PBT and income tax rate are given. revalued amount of fixed assets and the amount of additional depreciation to be provided are also given. The addnl depn is deducted from PBT but, the same is specifically added back for computing tax amt.

Illustaration:-

PBT-                      100000

less: addnl depn- 40000

balance               - 60000

Less: tax @ 50%-50000

(100000*50%)

PBT- i.e. FMP     - 50000

why should we add back addnl depn for computing tax?

tax wil be 30000...n nt 50000...tax is levied on bal 60000 which is called FMPBT

dude refer mpv text book there u will get the clarification..mainly the additional depreciation is taken as a disallowance in the tax angle tat is why...and the pat is 10000 in the above case

In simple language i can say for Income Tax Amount calculation actual depreciation is allowed as deduction and not additional depreciation. We are deducting additional depreciation just to calculate amount of Goodwill..
