IAS 12 Income taxes
Overview
The income tax payable derives from the taxable income. But taxable profit does not necessarily equal accounting profit. What happens when the taxable profit is different from the profit of the IFRS financial statements? Will the taxes payable be disclosed as too high or too low in the IFRS financial statements? No, deferred taxes come into play.
This course helps you understand what exactly deferred taxes are, when they arise, how current and future income taxes are recognised and measured, how taxes are presented and which disclosures are required related to income taxes, according to IAS 12 standard. In addition to the accounting of deferred taxes , the accounting of current taxes are also briefly discussed. The course includes practical examples and interim tests to enhance understanding.
This course will enable you to:
understand the concept of deferred taxes and current taxes
identify situations when there is a need to account for deferred taxes and learn about recognition exemptions
define whether a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability arose
recognise effect of under- or overestimation of current tax balances in previous years
define correct journals for current and deferred income taxes
review IAS 12 standard’s disclosure requirements
