- Discuss the reasons why IAS 12 (revised) requires enterprises to provide for deferred taxation on revaluations of assets and fair value adjustments on business combination.(Solved)
IAS 12 (revised) “Income Taxes” requires an enterprise to provide for deferred tax in full for all deferred tax liabilities with only limited expectations. The original IAS 12, and the equivalent Kenyan Accounting Standard, allowed an enterprise not to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities where there was reasonable evidence that timing differences would not reverse for some considerable period ahead; this was known as the partial provision method.
The original IAS 12 did not refer explicitly to fair value adjustments made on a business combination and did not require an enterprise to recognize a deferred tax liability in respect of asset revaluations. The revised IAS 12 now requires deferred tax adjustments for these items and classifies them as temporary differences.
