Catherine Duffy: Okay, so welcome back to the next video that will take you through
[7]
the deferred tax calculation for 2016.
[11]
We've finished step one which I call step one, the calculation of the current taxes
[15]
payable or the current tax expense for 2016.
[19]
Now we'll move on to step 2 or I call it step 2 which is the calculation of the deferred
[29]
tax expense or if it's a credit balance that we
[40]
calculate, then it will be a benefit.
[41]
Okay.
[42]
We're going to calculate that.
[45]
Before we do the calculation of the deferred tax expense or benefit for the year, we need
[49]
to understand where we ended last year.
[53]
Based on the facts that we are given in this situation, I didn't actually give you the
[57]
deferred tax asset or liability balance that we had at the end of 2015.
[62]
We need to know that figure in order to finish the 2016 calculation of the deferred tax expense.
[69]
Let's calculate our 2015 deferred tax asset or liability balance based on the facts we
[77]
are given and then we'll use that information to move on and do the step 2 calculation for
[82]
this year.
[83]
The end of last year, so in 2015, we have to take a note of what were all the timing
[91]
differences that we had.
[95]
What we're all the timing differences that we had at the end of last year and in the
[98]
facts the question that I gave you at the beginning of this video, there was some property,
[104]
plant, and equipment assets.
[107]
They're depreciable assets so we call them and those had a timing difference.
[114]
We knew they had a timing difference because of the balance sheet value.
[122]
The balance sheet or the statement of financial position values, we call NBV or you could
[131]
call this carrying value.
[133]
You can call it whatever you want to call it, but it's whatever the value that is on
[140]
the balance sheet, that's the value we want to take note of here.
[146]
The value that I gave you at the beginning of this question was $40,000 was the net book
[150]
value of the property, plant, and equipment.
[153]
For tax purposes, the value was at $25,000.
[163]
These 2 values are different and the difference is what has created a timing difference.
[170]
In prior years, we've depreciated this asset down to $40,000 for accounting purposes.
[175]
For tax purposes, we've managed to depreciate it down to $25,000.
[180]
In effect, we've taken an extra $15,000 of tax 0depreciation versus accounting appreciations.
[185]
We've got more tax depreciation because we brought the asset down to the $25,000 value.
[192]
The difference between the tax base, usually base or basis is usually the comment there.
[202]
The balance sheet base or accounting value is what we'll call the timing difference.
[211]
Okay.
[214]
I usually set this chart up again.
[215]
This is just rough works.
[216]
You can set it up in any way you want to.
[218]
I usually set it up though that if the balance sheet value is a debit, then I'll show it
[224]
as a positive number.
[225]
If the balance sheet value is a credit, I'll put brackets around it.
[229]
Obviously a property, plant, and equipment net book value is a debit balance.
[233]
I've got here as a positive number.
[235]
For tax purposes, it's $25,000.
[238]
For accounting purposes, it's 40, so 25,000 - 40,000 gives us a credit figure of $15,000.
[246]
What does that mean?
[248]
Well, that $15,000 is saying that we have created timing differences over the years.
[254]
It could have taken us 10 years.
[255]
It could taken us one year.
[257]
Over the many years that we've owned this asset, we've created differences between the
[261]
accounting depreciation and the tax depreciation.
[264]
A couple of things I want to say about this though.
[268]
Just a few things to take note.
[271]
This $25,000 here, this is the UCC at the end of the year that we're doing the 2015
[282]
calculations.
[283]
That's the under appreciated capital costs at the end of the year.
[286]
This $40,000 is the net book value of the property, plant, and equipment at the end
[294]
of 2015.
[297]
When you're looking for your total differences that have accumulated over the year, you can
[301]
get it by just finding those 2 values and subtract the 2 of them and you get your total
[305]
time difference.
[307]
We're here with a $15,000 timing difference between tax and accounting for the property,
[311]
plant, and equipment assets and that's because for tax purposes, we've taken greater deductions
[317]
than we have 4 accounting.
[319]
That means that in future years, we're not going to have as much left with the tax to
[324]
take deductions on because we'll eventually run out of it.
[327]
We're already down to $25,000.
[329]
In future years, we can expect our current tax expense to be higher.
[335]
This figure here of negative $15,000 is saying that in future years, we're going to have
[340]
to pay additional current income tax because we won't have anymore CCA to take because
[347]
we've already depreciated everything here.
[349]
This difference is saying to us that in the future, we are going to have a higher tax
[354]
liability because we were able to take a quick accelerated depreciation for tax purposes
[359]
here.
[360]
Anyways, when you get a brackets around the figure when you do this 25,000 minus this
[365]
asset of 40,000, you got a $15,000.
[368]
This timing difference is going to give rise to a liability.
[370]
If you see the brackets, it's going to give rise to a liability.
[373]
If you have no brackets, then it's going to give rise to an asset, a deferred tax assets.
[378]
We've got timing differences $15,000 negative that's going to create a liability, multiply
[383]
that by the tax rate but not this year's tax rate.
[387]
We want to multiply it by future tax rates because this difference is going to go away
[395]
when the CCA and the depreciation eventually have brought both assets down to a zero value.
[400]
It's going to go away in future years.
[402]
It doesn't matter what this year's tax rate is, what the current your tax rate is.
[405]
What matters is future years, so 2016 and beyond.
[410]
We're looking at the 2015 timing differences.
[413]
We got to put ourselves back in time last year at December 31st, 2015.
[420]
At that point in time, all we knew at that point time was that the tax rate was still
[425]
20%.
[427]
The future tax rate back then was 20%, so 15,000 times 20% is going to give us our deferred
[436]
tax.
[437]
It's going to give us either an asset value or a liability value.
[445]
In this case because it's brackets, it's going to be a liability value.
[452]
At the end of last year, there would have been a deferred tax liability for that $3000
[455]
and they would created the liability by debiting deferred tax expense and crediting deferred
[459]
tax liability.
[461]
That wasn't the only timing difference.
[463]
There was another timing difference last year, at the end of last year and that was the warranty
[466]
liability.
[467]
Notice, so I'm not writing the income statement values.
[474]
I'm writing the balance sheet accounts.
[475]
I've got the warranty liability.
[477]
Now so at the end of last year, you said as we showed, there was an $18,000 warranty liability
[485]
on our books.
[486]
We'll put brackets around it because it's a credit balance.
[490]
For tax purposes, there isn't any kind of such a thing as an accrual of a liability.
[495]
There's no tax base, so it's not applicable.
[497]
You say not applicable or just put a 0 there.
[501]
To calculate what's our timing difference between tax and accounting.
[504]
For tax, you weren't allowed to expense anything.
[506]
For accounting, we expense the entire thing.
[509]
Zero minus a negative means we had a positive timing difference, so that timing difference
[516]
is going to create a deferred tax assets.
[518]
It's going to mean that we weren't allowed to expense anything for accounting or for
[522]
tax purposes last year, but eventually we're going to be able to expense the entire $18,000
[528]
when we actually spend the money to repair some warranties.
[532]
We haven't deducted anything yet but in the future, we'll be able to detect the entire
[534]
amount and that will make our taxes smaller so it creates an asset.
[538]
Eighteen thousand times the future tax rate of 20% is an asset value of $3600.
[546]
At the end of last year following IFRS, the difference between this credit and this debit
[553]
is we needed a deferred tax asset last year of $600.
[562]
If there was nothing in the deferred tax asset or liability of the council, let's just pretend
[568]
maybe this was the first year of the difference.
[570]
Then the journal entry when they recorded that, it would have been simply debit deferred
[578]
tax asset, $600 credit deferred tax benefit.
[588]
The income statement account of $600.
[592]
What I want you to take note of is the $600 deferred tax assets would be sitting on the
[598]
balance sheet at the beginning of this fiscal year 2015.
[602]
We need to know our starting point for the deferred tax.
[605]
We know our starting point for the step 2 calculation for deferred tax for 2015.
[611]
We know what's in our accounts at the end of last year or the beginning of this year
[615]
which is a $600 deferred tax asset.
[618]
Now we can start doing this year's calculation, the deferred tax.
[621]
We've got to identify all of our timing differences and these were 2 differences that we had identified
[626]
from last year, property plant, equipment and warranty.
[628]
We know those are differences and we actually have a couple more new ones that we created
[633]
this year when we did our step one calculation or calculation of taxable income.
[638]
Let's start with the property, plant and equipment line.
[640]
As we talked about before, the tax base number is going to be the undepreciated capital cost
[646]
allowance value at the end of 2016.
[651]
The accounting base balance is going to be the net book value at the end of 2016.
[656]
These 2 figures, we picked those up.
[659]
This one is we talked about before is the UCC at the end of 2016.
[666]
We get to that figure by going the beginning UCC balance was $25,000, so that was the number
[674]
at the end of last year.
[675]
Then we had CCA that we took for 2016 of $3000.
[683]
We've got an ending UCC balance of $22,000 this year.
[688]
For accounting purposes, we had a net book value at the end of 2015 of $40,000 and then
[697]
the depreciation expense for 2016 was $2000.
[704]
We ended up with a net book value at the end of 2016 of $36,000.
[711]
That's where those 2 figures are coming from.
[714]
To finish off the deferred tax effect calculation on property, plant, and equipment, we've got
[719]
$22,000 of tax base minus the net book value of $38,000 leaves us with a timing difference
[727]
of $16,000 at the end of 2016 times the future tax rate.
[732]
Now in the original facts I gave you for this question, we said that the tax rates for 2017
[737]
and beyond are known to be 15%.
[738]
I'll use the future tax rate of 15%.
[741]
Even though the current year's tax rate is 20%, we want to use the future year's tax
[746]
rate to figure out the deferred tax piece, because it's only going to be relevant to
[749]
future years.
[751]
Sixteen thousand times 15% is a deferred tax liability is needed related to the property,
[758]
plant, and equipment of $2400.
[760]
Next one which was a carryover from last year.
[763]
I was the warranty liability.
[765]
Now we've got a warranty liability of only $9500.
[771]
We have no warranty liability for tax because that doesn't make any sense.
[775]
You would never accrue a liability for tax purposes.
[778]
How do we get this value?
[780]
Well, we just get it off the general ledger account if we had access to it, but just how
[784]
did we get to that point?
[785]
Well, we had a warranty liability at the end of 2015 if you remember of $18,000.
[796]
We spent in 2016 $8500, so the remaining warranty liability balance at the end of 2016 is only
[812]
$9500.
[818]
The warranty liability timing difference is zero minus a negative number, creates a positive
[823]
number of $9500.
[825]
This timing difference is going to give rise to a deferred tax asset.
[830]
Times the future tax rate means we need a deferred tax asset for this remaining $9500
[836]
timing difference of 1425.
[838]
Okay, so that's the 2 timing differences that we also had last year, but we created 2 more
[845]
timing differences this year.
[846]
We have a restructuring liability.
[849]
If you look back to the temporary differences in the step one, current tax calculation,
[857]
we had a restructuring liability that we were not allowed to deduct for tax purposes.
[863]
For accounting purposes, the value is a $10,000 liability.
[868]
For tax purposes, there's nothing recorded.
[870]
You're going to find that most things in the timing difference tax base column are going
[875]
to be zero for anything that's related to an accrual.
[878]
An accrual of an expense or an accrual of a revenue, there's no such thing as accruals
[882]
for most tax situations.
[885]
Most of the tax law is based on cash accounting, so that's why there'd be nothing really accrued,
[892]
no receivables and no liabilities.
[894]
If you've got an asset, there certainly would be tangible assets have a tax base and investments
[899]
have a tax base.
[900]
When we're talking about liabilities and receivables, they usually don't have a tax base.
[905]
The restructuring liability is zero minus the negative number creates a positive number.
[909]
We need a deferred tax asset for related to this restructuring liability that was not
[914]
deductible this year.
[915]
In the future years, we can deduct it for tax purposes.
[918]
We'll make our taxes smaller, so that's why this is going to create a deferred tax asset.
[923]
Ten thousand times the future tax rate equals a deferred tax asset is needed of $1500 on
[930]
this item.
[931]
Then the 4th and the last timing difference we've got at the end of 2016 is a rent receivable.
[942]
We had accrued rent of $6000.
[945]
We had a receivable sitting there on our balance sheet.
[949]
Nothing accrued for tax purposes, so there's no tax base value.
[952]
Zero minus an asset is going to create a negative $600 timing difference times a future tax
[959]
rate.
[960]
Says that we need a deferred tax liability of $900, and that would make sense because
[966]
in future years, we're going to have to pay tax on the $600.
[969]
Remember, we didn't have to pay tax in 2016 because we didn't collect the money yet.
[974]
Next year when we get the money from our tenant, we will have to pay tax on it so that's going
[979]
to make our taxes higher next year and the amount that is going to make it higher by
[983]
is this differed tax liability of $900.
[987]
Adding up all these deferred tax assets and liabilities that we've got here under IFRS,
[994]
we can just calculate the the net value.
[997]
We've got a net 375 deferred tax liability for 2016.
[1013]
Okay, that's the number we want to see on our balance sheet.
[1018]
In order to do the journal entries to get to that number, we've got to figure out what
[1021]
we've got in our account, so we did that already.
[1024]
Our 2015 balance was a deferred tax asset of $600.
[1036]
We actually need a journal entry to reverse that deferred tax asset and set up a deferred
[1041]
tax liability.
[1042]
The effect of our journal entry is going to be a $975 deferred tax expense.
[1053]
Okay, thanks for watching.
[1060]
We've just concluded the deferred tax calculation step 2 as O like to call it.
[1064]
When you're ready, you can move on to the next video which will wrap up the journal
[1067]
entries in the income statement and balance sheet presentation.
