Continuation of Example 4 in the following year

In the following year 02, entity E”s profit before tax according to IFRS is CU 100. E”s taxable profit for 02 is CU 140. The difference between these amounts arose as follows:

1. On Sep 01, 01, E acquired shares for CU 200 which are accounted for at fair value through other comprehensive income (IFRS 9.5.7.1b and 9.5.7.5). Fair value of the shares is CU 208 as at Dec 31, 02. On Dec 31, 01, fair value was CU 200. In 02, E received a dividend of CU 4 for the period Sept 01, 01 to Dec 31, 01. The dividend is outside the scope of taxation under E”s tax law. According to E”s tax law, the shares are measured at cost.

2. Regarding a lawsuit, E has recognized a provision of CU 100 according to IFRS. The carrying amount of that provision for tax purposes is CU 80.

3. In 02, an amount of CU 16 was paid to E”s non-executive directors. According to E”s tax law, only half of that amount is deductible for tax purposes.

4. On Jan 01, 02, E acquired a building for CU 2,000. The building is available for use on the same day. Under E”s tax law depreciation is 3% p.a. The building”s useful life according to IFRS is 25 years.

5. The carrying amount of a provision of E for tax purposes is CU 4. That provision does not meet the recognition criteria according to IFRS.
