Income taxes - IAS 12
According to paragraph 1 of IAS 12, the standard applies in accounting for income taxes,
including all domestic and foreign taxes based on taxable profits.
- It also applies to withholding taxes that are payable by a subsidiary, associate or joint
arrangement on distributions to a reporting entity.
- The standard does not deal with methods of accounting for government grants or
investment tax credits, but it does deal with accounting for tax effects arising in
respect of such transactions.

Accounting profit: ‘profit or loss for a period before deducting tax expense’
→ Excess/Deficiency of income less expenses for that period

Taxable profit: ‘profit for a period, determined in accordance with the rules established by
the taxation authorities, upon which income taxes are payable’
→ Excess of taxable income over taxation deductions allowable against that income

Because both profits are determined by different principles and rules, they are unlikely to be
the same. Instead, accounting for income taxes involves identifying and accounting for the
differences between accounting profit and taxable profit. These differences arise from a
number of common transactions and may be either permanent or temporary in nature.

Permanent differences
These arise when the treatment of a transaction by taxation legislation and accounting
standards is such that amounts recognised as part of accounting profit are never recognised
as part of taxable profit, or vice versa.
- Examples of permanent differences include income never subject to taxation such as
dividend income, and expenditure incurred by an entity that will never be an
allowable deduction such as entertainment expenditure.
- Where such differences exist, taxable profit will never equal accounting profit. No
accounting requirements other than disclosure exist for these permanent differences.

Temporary differences
Temporary differences between accounting profit and taxable profit arise when the period in
which revenues and expenses are recognised for accounting purposes is different from the
period in which such revenues and expenses are treated as taxable income and allowable
deductions for tax purposes.
- For example, interest revenue recognised on an accrual basis, may not be taxable
income until it is received as cash.
- The key feature of these differences is that they are temporary, because sooner or
later the amount of interest revenue will equal the amount of taxable interest income.
- However, in any one individual accounting/taxation period, these amounts will differ
when calculating accounting profit and taxable profit respectively

, ● Differences that result in the entity paying more tax in the future (e.g. when interest is
recognised for accounting purposes in a period before it is received and included in
taxable income) are known as taxable temporary differences.
● Differences that result in the entity recovering tax via additional deductible expenses
in the future (e.g. when accrued expenses are recognised for accounting purposes in
a period before they are paid and included as a tax deduction) are known as
deductible temporary differences.

Appendix A to IAS 12 gives examples of temporary differences arising from different
treatments of transactions for accounting and taxation purposes, some of which are listed
below.

in relation to other accrued expenses — such as product
