Describe the procedure(s) involved in classifying deferred tax amounts on the statement of financial position under IFRS.

Question: Novotna Inc.’s only temporary difference at the beginning and end of 2016 is caused by a \(3 million deferred gain for tax purposes for an installment sale of a plant asset, and the related receivable (only one-half of which is classified as a current asset) is due in equal installments in 2017 and 2018. The related deferred tax liability at the beginning of the year is \)1,200,000. In the third quarter of 2016, a new tax rate of 34% is enacted into law and is scheduled to become effective for 2018. Taxable income for 2016 is $5,000,000, and taxable income is expected in all future years.

Instructions

(a) Determine the amount reported as a deferred tax liability at the end of 2016. Indicate proper classification(s).

(b) Prepare the journal entry (if any) necessary to adjust the deferred tax liability when the new tax rate is enacted into law.

(c) Draft the income tax expense portion of the income statement for 2016. Begin with the line “Income before income taxes.” Assume no permanent differences exist.

Kleckner Company started operations in 2013. Although it has grown steadily, the company reported accumulatedoperating losses of \(450,000 in its first four years in business. In the most recent year (2017), Kleckner appears to haveturned the corner and reported modest taxable income of \)30,000. In addition to a deferred tax asset related to its net operatingloss, Kleckner has recorded a deferred tax asset related to product warranties and a deferred tax liability related to accelerateddepreciation. Given its past operating results, Kleckner has determined that it is not probable that it will realize any of thedeferred tax assets. However, given its improved performance, Kleckner management wonders whether there are any accountingconsequences for its deferred tax assets. They would like you to conduct some research on the accounting for recognitionof its deferred tax asset.
