Income tax of an interim period: estimated annual effective rate, year-to-date and period charge, revision of the rate and entries
- Prepared by
- AI-assisted draft
- Reviewed by
- Not reviewed — human review required
- Status
- Published
Objective of the workpaper
Record the estimated annual pre-tax profit, the estimated average annual effective rate of management (scale, jurisdictions), the year-to-date pre-tax profit and the charge already recognised. Compute the year-to-date charge at the estimated rate, the charge of the period and, if the rate is revised, the year-to-date charge at the revised rate and the adjustment recognised in the period of revision; periods already published are not restated. The rate is case data and a judgment of management; it is never presented as imposed by the standard. The entry is illustrative and excludes deferred tax.

JudgmentIAS 34 §30IAS 34 §B12
Estimated annual effective rate retained
JudgmentRequired
Rate revised because of a new estimate: adjustment in the period of revision
Estimated rate supported by the estimate of the annual profit, the scale and the jurisdictions / Rate revised because of a new estimate: adjustment in the period of revision / Not applicable
Professional judgment: the estimated annual effective rate is case data and an estimate of management, never a rate imposed by the standard; a new estimate changes the charge of the period of revision and not that of the periods already published.
Rationale: estimated annual profit, scale and jurisdictions taken into account, reason for any revision

- Nominal statutory rate not substituted for the estimated annual effective rate
- Progressive scales and jurisdictions taken into account in the estimate of the rate
- Revision of the rate recognised in the period in which the estimate changes, without restating the published periods
- Accounting for current and deferred tax within IAS 12 (IAS 12 course)

CalculationsIAS 34 §30IAS 34 §B12
Expected annual tax (estimated annual profit × estimated annual effective rate)
CalculationRequired
Estimated annual pre-tax profit ; Estimated average annual effective rate (judgment of management)
Year-to-date tax expense (year-to-date pre-tax profit × estimated annual effective rate)
CalculationRequired
Year-to-date pre-tax profit ; Estimated average annual effective rate (judgment of management)
Tax expense of the period (year-to-date expense − expense already recognised)
Calculation
Year-to-date tax expense (year-to-date pre-tax profit × estimated annual effective rate) ; − Tax expense already recognised in the previous periods of the year
Year-to-date tax expense at the revised rate (year-to-date pre-tax profit × revised rate)
CalculationRequired
Year-to-date pre-tax profit ; Revised average annual effective rate (judgment of management)
Adjustment of the period of revision (year-to-date expense at the revised rate − expense already recognised)
Calculation
Year-to-date tax expense at the revised rate (year-to-date pre-tax profit × revised rate) ; − Tax expense already recognised in the previous periods of the year
Part of the adjustment that increases the tax expense
Calculation
Year-to-date tax expense at the revised rate (year-to-date pre-tax profit × revised rate) ; − Tax expense already recognised in the previous periods of the year
Part of the adjustment that decreases the tax expense
Calculation
Year-to-date tax expense at the revised rate (year-to-date pre-tax profit × revised rate) ; − Tax expense already recognised in the previous periods of the year
