Calculating the Tax Base of Assets Scenario 1 (IAS 12, para. 7, example 1) A machine cost $100. Depreciation of $30 has already been expensed for accounting purposes and deducted for tax purposes in the current and prior periods - that is, the accounting treatment and tax treatment are the same. In this scenario, when the entity uses the asset it generates economic benefits in the form of revenue. The revenue generated by using the machine is taxable. Future deductible amounts are calculated as original cost less accumulated tax depreciation deductions ($100-$30=$70). This remaining cost of $70 will be tax deductible in future periods, either as depreciation or through a deduction on disposal. Therefore, as the future economic benefits, in the form of revenue, are taxable, the tax base of the machine is determined as follows. [1] Tax base = Future deductible amount = $70 The carrying amount is calculated as original cost ($100) less accumulated accounting depreciation ($30) = $70. This is the net amount that would be recorded in the financial statements. Therefore, in this scenario, the tax base is equal to the carrying amount of the asset. Scenario 2 An item of plant was purchased two years ago for $100. This plant is being depreciated on a straight-line basis for accounting purposes over a four-year period and on a straight-line basis for tax purposes over a five-year period. There is no residual value for either tax or accounting purposes. The income generated by the plant is included in taxable profit (loss), and tax depreciation is deductible for tax purposes. In this scenario, when the entity uses the asset, it generates economic benefits in the form of revenue. The revenue generated by using the plant is taxable. Future deductible amounts are amounts that were not yet claimed as deductions out of the original cost and they will be calculated as original cost ($100) less accumulated tax depreciation deductions ($100/5 x 2 = $40) = $60. Therefore, as the future economic benefits, in the form of revenue, are taxable, the tax base of the plant is determined as follows. [1] Tax base = Future deductible amount = $60The carrying amount is calculated as original cost ($100) less accumulated accounting depreciation ($100/4 x 2 = $50) = $50. This is the net amount that would be recorded in the financial statements. Therefore, in this scenario, the tax base is not equal to the carrying amount of the asset.QUESTION 4.1 Calculate the tax base for the following assets.
