Any one having idea and part of this forum please explain deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability.
Its very simple
temporaray difference is something which will ultimately become same over years.
means there may be a difference in books of accounts as per taxation authourities and books of accounts as per IFRS but in certain time it willl become zero
lets suppose there is an asset
as per IFRS you charge dep 20% and asset will fully depreciate in 5 years
however tax authorities depreciate same asset at 25% thus for them it will fully depreciate in 4 years.
so its temporary difference.
now coming to permanant difference its such a difference which is not due to timing.
like there government grant may be charged to PL and it will showed as income but lets assume its exempt in tax so it will never be taxed. so its a permanent difference.
