Income Tax Expense

● Deferred Tax Expense
Reasons why Accounting Income ≠Taxable Income
● Permanent differences
○ Arise when income and expenses enter in the computation of either
accounting or taxable income but not both
■ Non-taxable revenues and non-deductible expenses
■ Items already subjected to final taxes (excluded in the ITR)
○ Do not give rise to future tax consequences
○ Do not give rise to deferred liability or asset
○ Examples
■ Accounting income but not in Taxable income (because passive already
and subjected to withholding taxes na)
● Interest income on government bonds and treasury bills
● Interest income on bank deposits
● Dividend income
■ Non-deductible expenses (decreases accounting income but not the
taxable income)
● Fines, penalties, and surcharges arising from violation of laws
● Deductions in excess of prescribed limit under the tax laws
○ Charitable contributions
○ Entertainment and representation expense
■ Non-taxable revenue
● Premiums on life insurance paid on behalf of employees (entity
is irrevocable beneficiary)
○ If entity is not the beneficiary, BIR will allow this to be
part of taxable income
, ● Temporary Differences
○ Differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the SFP and
its tax base (amount to be taxed for future periods and based on tax laws)
○ Timing differences
■ Income or expenses recognized in different time periods (financial
reporting and taxation purposes)
○ Reverses in one or more subsequent periods
