Tax calculation and disclosure example
This item includes a worked example of income tax disclosures prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 12.
The spreadsheet used for this example (see link below) includes a summary of the movements in the tax accounts, the tax-related journal entries, the current tax calculation, the deferred tax calculation, and a summary of the tax and accounting fixed asset registers.
This example is based on a profitable operating company with revalued assets. It shows the calculation of deferred tax on revaluation gains and the accounting treatment of tax loss transfers. It also includes an adjustment for deferred tax on buildings.
The tax note included in the spreadsheet is based on the disclosures required for entities reporting under Tier 1. Disclosure of the balance of imputation credits is not required under Tier 2 (Reduced Disclosure Regime).
