The financial director of Force Ltd is currently preparing the financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2018. As the company's tax consultant, you will be required to prepare all the taxation information which is to be included in the financial statements. They have given you the following information to assist you with the exercise.
At 28 February 2017 the company had an assessed loss of R2000000. Due to circumstances at the time, the company did not recognise a debit deferred tax balance.
The company purchased a fleet of vehicles for R600000 on 1 December 2015. On 1 June 2017 one vehicle which had originally cost R120000 was sold for R140000.
It is the company's policy to depreciate motor vehicles on a straight-line basis to a nil residual value over a five year useful life. SARS allows motor vehicles to be written off over three years on a straight-line basis to a nil residual value in terms of s11(e).
At 28 February 2018, the company had a warranty provision balance of R180000(2017: R130000). SARS only allows a deduction on payment of the warranty provision liability.
The company always pays its factory rental one month in advance. At 28 February 2018, rent paid in advance amounted to R250000(2017: R220000). Rent is deductible in the period in which it is paid.
Included in the company's profit for the year of R3400000 are dividends earned of R100000, which were exempt from income tax, of and speeding fine expenses of R15000, which are not deductible for tax purposes.
The corporate tax rate was 28% but on 21 February 2018 the Minister of Finance announced that this would be increased to 30% effective from 1 April 2018. Capital gains are included in taxable income at a rate of 80%. Ignore VAT.
There are no temporary or non-taxable/deductible differences other than those which have been described above.
