, Part A: Calculation of Deferred Tax Balance for TopStyle Ltd as of 30 June 2022
and 30 June 2023
To determine the deferred tax balance in the statement of financial position for TopStyle
Ltd, we'll use the statement of financial position approach according to IAS 12, "Income
Taxes." This approach involves recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities based on
the temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities in
financial reporting and their tax bases.
Step 1: Identifying Temporary Differences
1. Administration Building
Carrying amount (1 July 2022): R1,500,000 - (R1,500,000 ÷ 15 years) × 9/12
months = R1,425,000
Tax base: R1,500,000
Temporary difference: R1,425,000 - R1,500,000 = (R75,000)
Deferred tax (2022): No deferred tax is recorded as the SA Revenue Service
does not allow tax deductions for the building.
For the year ended 30 June 2023:
Carrying amount (30 June 2023): R1,500,000 - (R1,500,000 ÷ 15 years) ×
21/12 months = R1,350,000
Tax base: R1,500,000
Temporary difference: R1,350,000 - R1,500,000 = (R150,000)
Deferred tax (2023): No deferred tax since no tax allowance is available on the
building.
