Objective of the workpaper
For one statement of financial position item (asset or liability) of a taxable entity, determine the tax base and the taxable or deductible temporary difference, review the exceptions (goodwill, initial recognition, single transaction giving rise to equal differences), compute the gross deferred tax at the rate expected on reversal, then post the entries and pass the items on to the note.

- Temporary difference = difference between carrying amount and tax base, determined by reference to the carrying amount
- Asset whose carrying amount exceeds its tax base: taxable difference
- Timing difference between accounting and taxable profit (interest, accelerated tax depreciation, development)
- Other origins: business combination, revaluation, goodwill, initial difference, investments, exchange differences
- Revaluation or fair value without tax adjustment: deferred tax even without an intention to dispose
- Deductible differences: retirement benefits deductible when paid, assets at fair value whose tax base is higher

ChecklistRequired
- Non-deductible goodwill: no deferred tax liability on its initial recognition (residual amount)
- Later reductions of an unrecognised liability on goodwill: not recognised
- Taxable difference on goodwill arising after initial recognition: liability recognised
- Goodwill whose carrying amount is below its tax base: deferred tax asset (if profit is probable)
- Initial recognition outside a business combination, with no effect on accounting or taxable profit and no equal differences: exception
- Treatment of an initial difference according to the nature of the transaction (non-deductible cost, for example)
- Compound instrument: difference outside the exception, deferred tax charged to the equity component
- Non-taxable grant deducted from the carrying amount of an asset: deductible difference, deferred tax asset not recognised (reference to para. 22)
IFRS rule: a non-taxable grant deducted from the carrying amount of the asset (or presented as deferred income) gives rise to a deductible difference, but the related deferred tax asset is not recognised, for the reason given in para. 22 (para. 33). A grant taxed on receipt follows the general case.

Carrying amount of the liability component on initial recognition
Number
Tax base of the liability component under the tax law of the case
Number
IFRS rule: in some jurisdictions, the tax base of the liability component equals the total of the liability and equity components; the taxable difference arising from the split is not covered by the initial recognition exception (para. 23). Case data: the tax base itself.

IFRS rule: the deferred tax liability is charged directly to the carrying amount of the equity component, subsequent changes being recognised in profit or loss (para. 23). For this instance, DTL_RECOGNISED stays at 0: recognition goes through the compound instrument entry, not through profit or loss.

- Non-deductible goodwill: no deferred tax liability on its initial recognition (residual amount)
- Later reductions of an unrecognised liability on goodwill: not recognised
- Taxable difference on goodwill arising after initial recognition: liability recognised
- Goodwill whose carrying amount is below its tax base: deferred tax asset (if profit is probable)
- Initial recognition outside a business combination, with no effect on accounting or taxable profit and no equal differences: exception
- Treatment of an initial difference according to the nature of the transaction (non-deductible cost, for example)
- Compound instrument: difference outside the exception, deferred tax charged to the equity component
- Non-taxable grant deducted from the carrying amount of an asset: deductible difference, deferred tax asset not recognised (reference to para. 22)
IFRS rule: a non-taxable grant deducted from the carrying amount of the asset (or presented as deferred income) gives rise to a deductible difference, but the related deferred tax asset is not recognised, for the reason given in para. 22 (para. 33). A grant taxed on receipt follows the general case.

IFRS rule: a non-taxable grant deducted from the carrying amount of the asset (or presented as deferred income) gives rise to a deductible difference, but the related deferred tax asset is not recognised, for the reason given in para. 22 (para. 33). A grant taxed on receipt follows the general case.

Deferred tax liability recognised (after exceptions)
Number
0
Amount recognised in profit or loss in the period by the entry recording the liability (teaching assumption: arising in the period, with no opening balance). Enter 0 if an exception applies or if the deferred tax is recognised through another entry (single transaction, equity component).
Deferred tax asset recognised (after exceptions and probability assessment, “Recoverability of deferred tax assets”)
Number
0
IFRS rule: asset recognised to the extent that taxable profit is probable (para. 24); the assessment is documented in “Recoverability of deferred tax assets”. Enter 0 if no asset is recognised.

- Later reductions of an unrecognised liability on goodwill: not recognised
- Taxable difference on goodwill arising after initial recognition: liability recognised
- Goodwill whose carrying amount is below its tax base: deferred tax asset (if profit is probable)

- Treatment of an initial difference according to the nature of the transaction (non-deductible cost, for example)
- Compound instrument: difference outside the exception, deferred tax charged to the equity component
- Non-taxable grant deducted from the carrying amount of an asset: deductible difference, deferred tax asset not recognised (reference to para. 22)
IFRS rule: a non-taxable grant deducted from the carrying amount of the asset (or presented as deferred income) gives rise to a deductible difference, but the related deferred tax asset is not recognised, for the reason given in para. 22 (para. 33). A grant taxed on receipt follows the general case.

- Non-deductible goodwill: no deferred tax liability on its initial recognition (residual amount)
- Later reductions of an unrecognised liability on goodwill: not recognised
- Taxable difference on goodwill arising after initial recognition: liability recognised
- Goodwill whose carrying amount is below its tax base: deferred tax asset (if profit is probable)
- Initial recognition outside a business combination, with no effect on accounting or taxable profit and no equal differences: exception
- Treatment of an initial difference according to the nature of the transaction (non-deductible cost, for example)
- Compound instrument: difference outside the exception, deferred tax charged to the equity component
- Non-taxable grant deducted from the carrying amount of an asset: deductible difference, deferred tax asset not recognised (reference to para. 22)
IFRS rule: a non-taxable grant deducted from the carrying amount of the asset (or presented as deferred income) gives rise to a deductible difference, but the related deferred tax asset is not recognised, for the reason given in para. 22 (para. 33). A grant taxed on receipt follows the general case.

- Compound instrument: difference outside the exception, deferred tax charged to the equity component
- Non-taxable grant deducted from the carrying amount of an asset: deductible difference, deferred tax asset not recognised (reference to para. 22)
IFRS rule: a non-taxable grant deducted from the carrying amount of the asset (or presented as deferred income) gives rise to a deductible difference, but the related deferred tax asset is not recognised, for the reason given in para. 22 (para. 33). A grant taxed on receipt follows the general case.

- Compound instrument: difference outside the exception, deferred tax charged to the equity component
- Non-taxable grant deducted from the carrying amount of an asset: deductible difference, deferred tax asset not recognised (reference to para. 22)
IFRS rule: a non-taxable grant deducted from the carrying amount of the asset (or presented as deferred income) gives rise to a deductible difference, but the related deferred tax asset is not recognised, for the reason given in para. 22 (para. 33). A grant taxed on receipt follows the general case.
