Question 3: At 31/12/X2 entity has an interest
receivable CU4,000 that will be taxable in X3
when received in cash. Tax rate 20% first 500,000
income and 30% on excess. Taxable profit in X2
= 450,000. Estimated taxable profit X3 = 550,000.
What is deferred tax liability 31/12/X2 for
receivable?
a. 1,200 b. 1,000 c. 940
d. 836 e. 800
Ques. 3: What is deferred tax liability 31/12/X2 for
receivable?
a. 1,200 b. 1,000 c. 940
d. 836* e. 800
Estimated effective tax rate = [(500,000
20%) + (50,000 30%)] 550,000 =
115,000 550,000 = 20.91%.
4,000 20.91% = 836
Question 4: Tax rate is 30% on operating profit,
0% on capital gains. In 20X1 entity has pre-tax
operating profit 50,000 and gain on sale of an
asset of 5,000. Entity believes gain is capital
gain, but small possibility (estimated 20%) that
tax authority says it is operating. What is current
tax liability at 31/12/X1?
a. 16,500 b. 16,200
c. 15,300 d. 15,000

Question 4: What is current tax liability at 31/12/X1?
a. 16,500 b. 16,200
c. 15,300 d. 15,000
IAS 12 is silent on the treatment of uncertain tax
positions. One way of treating the uncertain tax
positions is to use probability weighted amounts:
CU50,000 x 30% = CU15,000 tax on oper. profit
(CU5,000 x 80% x 0%) + (CU5,000 x 20% x 30%)
= CU300 tax on capital gain

Question 6: Tax year ends 31 December.
By 30 September entity must pay provisional tax
based on prior years taxable profit.
Tax rate is 30%. For 20X4 taxable profit was
50,000. Consequently, on 30/09/20X5 entity paid
15,000 toward 20X5 taxes.
Taxable profit for 20X5 = 40,000.
What is tax expense for 20X5?
What is current tax asset at 20X5?
What journal entry should be made at 31/12/X5?

Question 6:
Tax expense 20X5: 30% x 40,000 = 12,000
Current tax asset at 31/12/20X5: 15,000 paid
minus 12,000 owed. Tax asset is a receivable
from the tax authority.
Journal entry at 31/12/20X5:
Debit current tax asset 3,000
Credit tax expense* 3,000

*Assumes that on 30/09/20X5 the debit for the
15,000 payment was to tax expense.

Question 7:
Entity A purchased an item of PPE on 1 January
20X1 for CU1,000. The estimated useful life of the
PPE is 10 years and the residual value was
estimated to be zero. These estimates have not
changed.
The tax authorities in the jurisdiction in which
Entity A operates grant allowances over five
years for such PPE.
The applicable tax rate is 30 per cent.
Question 7 continued:
At 31 December 20X1, the deferred tax balance
and profit or loss effect are:
a. Liability of CU30, income of CU30
b. Asset of CU30, income of CU30
c. Liability of CU30, expense of CU30
d. Asset of CU30, expense of CU30
At 31 December 20X1, the deferred tax balance
and profit or loss effect are:
a. Liability of CU30, income of CU30
b. Asset of CU30, income of CU30
c. Liability of CU30, expense of CU30
d. Asset of CU30, expense of CU30
Question 8:
The facts are the same as Question 7.
On 31 December 20X1, Entity A revalued the asset
to CU1,300.
What journal entry should be processed in the
financial records of Entity A to account for the tax
effect of the revaluation?
Question 8:
Dr AssetPPE CU400
Cr IncomeOCI: revaluation gain CU280
Cr Deferred tax liability CU120
CU1,300 revalued amount CU900 previous carrying
amount = CU400.
CU400 increase in carrying amount x 30% = CU120
Question 9:
The facts are the same as Question 8.
What journal entry should be processed in the
financial records of Entity A to account for the tax
effect of the 20X2 depreciation of the PPE?
The estimates of estimated useful life and
residual value remain unchanged.

Question 9:
Dr Expenseprofit or loss: depreciation CU144
Cr AssetPPE CU144
CU1,300/9 years = CU144

Dr Expenseprofit or loss: deferred tax CU17
Cr Deferred tax liability CU17
(CU144 accounting depreciation less CU200 tax
depreciation) x 30% = CU17

Question 10:
Entity A owns a piece of land classified as PPE.
The land is not depreciated and is measured
using the revaluation model in IAS 16.
On 1 January 20X1 the entity bought the land for
CU1,500 (ie historical cost).
On 31 December 20X1 the land was revalued to
CU2,000.
The applicable tax rate for operating profits is
30%. Proceeds on sale in excess of historical
cost are taxed only at 15%
At what rate should the tax consequences of the
revaluation of the land be measured?

a. 30 per cent
b. 15 per cent
c. No tax consequences as the land is a non-
depreciable asset
At what rate should the tax consequences of the
revaluation of the land be measured?

a. 30 per cent
b. 15 per cent
c. No tax consequences as the land is a non-
depreciable asset

Reason: the land can only be recovered through sale.
It is not consumed in the process of generating
income.
