In lecture 3 we learnt
• To calculate current tax:
– A taxable income leads to a current tax liability
(Cr) and Income Tax Expense (Dr)
– A tax loss leads to a deferred tax asset (Dr) and
Income Tax Expense (Cr)
• To get to taxable income/(tax loss) start with the
accounting profit/(loss) and make adjustments for
the differences between accounting
revenues/expenses and tax income/deductions

In lecture 3 we learnt
• To calculate deferred tax by:
– Listing the relevant assets and liabilities in the worksheet
(taken from the balance sheet for the current year ending)
– Using the worksheet to determine the taxable temporary
differences and deductible temporary differences arising from
the differences between CA’s and TB’s
– Calculating ending balances for DTL and DTA and the
adjustment needed
– Preparing a journal entry to record the adjustments
(increases/decreases) for DTL and DTA and make a balancing
entry against Income Tax Expense (Dr or Cr)

Tax losses
• In Lecture 3, Part A on slide 24 the
template/worksheet for calculating current tax was
provided.
• If, after adjustments to accounting profit, we end up
with a negative number, this is called a tax loss.
• The tax loss is multiplied by the tax rate and a DTA is
recorded:
Dr Deferred Tax Asset (DTA)
XX
Cr Income tax expense (current)
XX

Tax losses
• The journal entry for current tax is adjusting
the beginning balance in the DTA

calculating the final adjustment for DTA in the
deferred tax worksheet
