EXERCISE 18-2 (20-25 minutes) (a) 1.

Reversing difference. The full, estimated, three years of warranty costs reduce the current year’s pre-tax accounting income, but they will reduce taxable income in varying amounts each respective year, as paid. Assuming the estimate for each warranty is valid, the total amounts deducted for accounting and for tax purposes will be equal over the three-year period for a given warranty. This is an example of an expense that in the first period reduces pre-tax accounting income more than taxable income and in later years, reverses. This type of temporary difference will result in future deductible amounts, which will give rise to the current recognition of a future income tax asset. Another way to evaluate this situation is to compare the carrying value of the warranty liability with its tax basis (which is zero). When the liability is settled in a future year, an expense will be recognized for tax purposes but none will be recognized for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, tax benefits for the tax deductions should result from the future settlement of the liability.

2.

Reversing difference. While the change in value is included in income in the current year, it will not be taxable/deductible until sold. Therefore, it is a reversing difference.

3.

Permanent difference. The difference is not due to different methods of depreciation, but due to different amounts accepted as “cost”. Since only the amount accepted originally as its tax cost can be amortized in the future, the difference is a permanent one. Gains recorded for accounting purposes at the disposition of the asset used on trade are deducted and losses are added to income to arrive at taxable income.




EXERCISE 18-2 (CONTINUED) (a) (continued) 4.

Permanent difference. The investor’s share of earnings of an investee accounted for by the equity method is included in accounting income, while dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations are excluded from taxable income. The amount included in accounting income is a permanent difference deducted when computing taxable income.

5.

Reversing difference. The write down in the inventory is recognized for accounting purposes in the current year, but the loss is not allowed to be deducted for tax purposes until the inventory is sold. Hence, it is a reversing difference.

6.

Permanent and reversing difference. Any loss from a litigation accrual would not be deductible for tax purposes until paid. This is a reversing difference arising in the year accrued. The portion of the loss that is expected to be a penalty, which cannot be used as a deductible expense for tax purposes, will be a permanent difference.

7.

Reversing difference under IFRS only (ASPE does not allow the revaluation model to be used). This write down for the properties will cause the deferred tax accounts to change, but the loss is not reported for current tax purposes. Once the land and buildings are actually disposed of, the taxable income will be impacted by difference between the original cost and the proceeds on disposal. (At this time, a portion of the difference may be shown as recaptured capital cost allowance on the building and a portion as capital gains for the land, but this will not be known until the actual sale proceeds are determined.)




EXERCISE 18-2 (CONTINUED) (a) (continued) 8.

(b) 1.

Reversing difference – When the retirement obligation is settled, the full cash amount paid will be reflected as a reduction of taxable income. However, in the accounting records, this has been reported each year since the obligation was originally accrued, along with the gain on settlement in the final year. As a result, there will be an amount in deferred tax asset with respect to this obligation. When the obligation is paid, this future tax asset will be reversed. Deferred tax accounts The estimated warranty costs will be deductible in future periods and cause taxable income to be less than accounting income in the future.  Deferred tax asset (Classified as noncurrent, assuming the three-year warranty liability is classified as non-current liability) under both IFRS and ASPE.

2.

Holding/unrealized gains  will be taxable when realized  deferred tax liability. Holding/unrealized losses  will be deductible when realized  deferred tax asset. (Same treatment under ASPE and IFRS).

5.

The impairment loss will be deductible in future periods and cause taxable income to be less than accounting income in the future.  Deferred tax asset (Classified as current

EXERCISE 18-2 (CONTINUED) (b) (continued) 6.

The penalty portion does not have related deferred tax accounts. The rest of it results in deferred tax asset. (Classified as current or non-current based on the expected reversal date under ASPE and noncurrent under IFRS).

7.

This is not allowed under ASPE. Under IFRS, the loss will be deductible in future periods and cause taxable income to be less than accounting income in the future.  Deferred tax asset (or a reduction in the related future tax liability account) (Classified as noncurrent under IFRS).

8.

The cash settlement of the retirement obligation results in the current taxable income being lower than the current accounting income. As such, there will be a reduction in the future tax asset account that had been increasing in previous years as the expense was recorded for accounting purposes but not yet for tax purposes. The related future tax asset should be eliminated with this settlement.

*The fact that the temporary difference will result in future deductible amounts is determined by the fact that in the year of origination, the temporary difference causes taxable income to exceed pre-tax accounting income. Therefore, in the period(s) of reversal, we can expect pre-tax accounting income to exceed taxable income.

The resulting taxable temporary difference must have the corresponding deferred tax recorded at the tax rate that Christina expects to pay (or recover in the case of a loss) on this gain or loss in future accounting periods. In this case the enacted rate is 30%; this rate needs to be applied to arrive at the amount of any deferred taxes.

Current income taxes are due well within 12 months of the statement of financial position date, therefore, they are classified as a current liability. The classification for the future tax account must also be current since the temporary difference relates to an asset that is classified as current on the statement of financial position. Under ASPE, future tax assets and future tax liabilities are segregated into current and non-current categories, so Henry’s future tax liability would be classified as current on a classified statement of financial position.

The net income is identical for 2018 and 2019. Although the temporary balances have changed, their changes were accrued at the expected tax rates in 2017. Subsequent reversals of balances in the temporary differences reduce the deferred tax liability account at the expected amounts each subsequent year. This trend in net income is not a coincidence. The net income remains constant due to the consistent amount of income before income tax.

The net income is identical for 2018 and 2019. Although the temporary balances have changed, their changes were accrued at the expected future income tax rates in 2017. Subsequent reversals of balances in the temporary differences reduce the deferred tax asset account at the expected amounts each subsequent year. This trend in net income is not a coincidence. The net income remains constant due to the consistent amount of income before income tax.

(b) As discussed in Exercise 18-11 the difference between the carrying amount ($40,000) and the tax base ($42,000) at December 31, 2018 is a temporary difference. The loss is not deductible until the investments are sold. The resulting deductible temporary difference must have the corresponding deferred tax recorded at the tax rate that Henry expects to recover on this loss in future accounting periods. In this case the enacted rate of 30% needs to be applied to arrive at the amount of any deferred taxes. (c) Stmt of Fin Pos Account

*The prior tax rate of 30% is calculated by dividing the $1,440,000 balance of the future tax liability account at January 1, 2017, by the $4,800,000 temporary difference at that same date. **One-half of the instalment receivable is classified as a current asset and one-half is non-current. Therefore, under ASPE the future tax liability related to the portion of the receivable coming due in 2018 is current and the future tax liability balance related to the portion of the receivable coming due in 2019 is non-current.

(b) Under IFRS, all deferred tax balances are reported as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. Therefore, the non-current deferred tax liability is reported as $1,416,000.

This leaves $305,000 - $235,000 = $70,000 of tax losses available for carryforward. No entry can be made to record any tax benefit from the remaining $70,000 of tax losses because it is not more likely than not that the company will actually benefit from them. However, the existence of the $70,000 loss carryforward should be disclosed in a note. 2017 In 2017, the company earned $50,000 of taxable income and it can deduct $50,000 of the $70,000 tax loss carryforward from this. They report a taxable income amount in 2017 of $-0-. Because they are still uncertain about being able to benefit from the remaining $20,000 of tax losses in the future, no entry is made to recognize the benefit in the year, but this amount must be disclosed in a note. Income tax expense in 2017 is $-0-. Alternatively, both a current tax expense of $50,000 X 30% = $15,000 and a current tax benefit from previously unrecognized tax losses available for carryforward of $50,000 X 30% = $15,000 could both be recognized and reported.

TIME AND PURPOSE OF PROBLEMS Problem 18-1

(Time 30-35 minutes)

Purpose—to test a student’s ability to differentiate between permanent and temporary differences, calculate and classify and record current and deferred taxes as well as prepare a partial income statement and statement of financial position. The student in this case is dealing with a single tax rate and opening balances to the deferred tax accounts related to a single temporary difference.

Problem 18-2


Purpose—to test a student’s ability to calculate and classify future taxes for five temporary differences, while dealing with an opening balance in the deferred tax asset account. Student must deal with three years and two tax rates and is required to draft the income statement for the year as well as arrive at statement of financial position amounts with appropriate classifications.

Problem 18-3


Purpose—to provide the student with an understanding of how to calculate and properly classify deferred taxes when there are four types of temporary differences. A single tax rate applies. The student is required to calculate and classify deferred taxes. Also, the student must use data given to solve for both taxable income and pre-tax accounting income. Reconciliations of reversing differences and the resulting deferred tax accounts must be prepared in order to provide proper comparative statement of financial position disclosures. Finally, the reconciliation of the effective tax rate is required.

Problem 18-4


Purpose—to provide the student with a situation where: (1) a temporary difference originates over a three-year period and begins to reverse in the fourth period, (2) a change in an enacted tax rate occurs first in a year prior to the year in which the amount of the cumulative temporary difference originates and then second in a year in which there is a change in the amount of cumulative temporary difference, (3) the amount of originating or reversing temporary difference must be calculated each year in order to determine the cumulative temporary difference at the end of each year, and (4) there is a permanent difference along with a temporary difference each year. Journal entries are required for the first year in one instance and then for each of four years, including the entry for the adjustment of deferred taxes due to the change in the enacted tax rate. The income statement disclosure is also required for one year.




TIME AND PURPOSE OF PROBLEMS (CONTINUED) Problem 18-5


Purpose—to provide the student with an understanding of how future temporary differences for existing depreciable assets are considered in determining the future years in which existing temporary differences result in taxable or deductible amounts. The student is given information about pre-tax accounting income, one temporary difference, and one permanent difference. The student must calculate all amounts related to income taxes for the current year and prepare the journal entry to record them. In order to determine the beginning balance in a deferred tax account, the student must calculate deferred taxes for the prior year’s statement of financial position. An income statement and statement of financial position presentation is also required along with earnings per share disclosure.

Problem 18-6


Purpose—to provide the student with the opportunity to reconcile timing differences reversing over a two-year period stemming from several sources, but using a consistent tax rate. Discontinued operations are also dealt with in this problem. The production of entries, income statement and statement of financial position amounts are also a requirement in this challenging problem.

Problem 18-7


Purpose—to develop an understanding of the concept of future taxable amounts and future deductible amounts. Also, to develop an understanding of how reversing timing differences affect the calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities when there are multiple tax rates enacted for the various periods affected by existing temporary differences. Different assumptions as to the likeliness of realization of deferred tax assets accrued from future deductible amounts are used and lead to a variety of entries and financial statement balances to be reported for two years.

Problem 18-8


Purpose—to provide the student with the opportunity to deal with several reversing differences reversing over a two-year period with several tax rates involved. The activity of some statement of financial position accounts over the two-year period provide the necessary detail to trace the reversing timing differences. Reporting of comparative balances on the statement of income and statement of financial position at the end each of the two years must also be




provided. A good understanding of the accounting and tax treatment is required to handle this challenging problem.




TIME AND PURPOSE OF PROBLEMS (CONTINUED) Problem 18-9


Purpose—to provide the student with an understanding of how the calculation and classification of deferred taxes are affected by the individual future year(s) in which future taxable and deductible amounts are scheduled to occur because of existing temporary differences. Two situations are given and the student is required to calculate, record and classify the deferred taxes for each. A net deferred tax asset results in both cases.

Problem 18-10 (Time 40-50 minutes) Purpose—to test a student’s understanding of the relationships that exist in the subject area of accounting for income taxes. The student is required to calculate and classify deferred taxes for two successive years. The journal entry to record income taxes is also required for each year. A draft of the income tax expense section of the income statement is also required for each year. An interesting twist to this problem is that the student must calculate taxable income for two individual periods based on facts about the tax rate and amount of taxes paid for each period and then combine that information with data on temporary differences to calculate pre-tax accounting income.

Problem 18-11 (Time 50-60 minutes) Purpose—to test a student’s ability to calculate, record and classify deferred taxes for three reversing differences and three permanent differences and to draft the income statement and a statement of retained earnings for the year. This problem also requires the reconciliation of the effective tax rate.

Problem 18-12 (Time 35-40 minutes) Purpose—to provide the student with a situation involving an actual net operating loss which can be partially offset by prior taxes paid using the carryback provision. Journal entries for the loss year and two subsequent years are required. The benefits of the loss carryforward are realized in the year following the loss year in one case and unexpected in another. Income statement presentations are required for the loss year where the benefits of the carryback and the carryforward are recognized and the year following the loss year where the benefits of the carryforward are realized and for the case where the loss carryforward is not expected.




TIME AND PURPOSE OF PROBLEMS (CONTINUED) Problem 18-13 (Time 35-40 minutes) Purpose—To challenge the student to deal with an error in a prior period in a company following ASPE and using the future/deferred income taxes method of accounting. The problem also includes reversing (CCA vs depreciation and allowance for doubtful accounts) and permanent differences (income tax penalties and interest, and golf club dues). The student must consider refiling the prior year tax return as a result of the error and complete the statement of retained earnings with the after tax impact of the error shown. The student must also prepare the journal entry for the error.

Problem 18-14 (Time 50-60 minutes) Purpose—To introduce the student to accounting for commercial real estate leases and deal with the reversing differences (prepaid rent and rent payable) as well as permanent differences (golf club dues and interest expense incurred to earn income not subject to tax). The student must deal with 2 years of information, calculate income tax expense and payable for 2 years and journalize all tax entries for 2 years. Also required is tax section of income statement and comparative statements of financial position for 2 years. The question emphasizes the few differences between the deferred approach to income taxes under both ASPE and IFRS.

Problem 18-15 (Time 60-75 minutes) Purpose—To provide the students with a challenging problem that requires them to think through a number of issues: loss carryback in a situation where the company’s accounting income and taxable income has differences due to timing and permanent differences, a change in tax rate, and a loss carryforward that cannot be recognized in its entirety. Students are asked to prepare entries and the income tax rate reconciliation note.

Problem 18-16 (Time 20-55 minutes) Purpose—to provide the student with three situations and require the discussion of any impact accounting policy choices for two situations and changing tax rates in one situation will have on deferred tax balances. Fair value accounting for investment properties and the revaluation method are included in this discussion.

PROBLEM 18-3 (CONTINUED) (g)

A company reporting under ASPE may use different terminology, but none of the calculations would differ except for the classification of the deferred tax assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position, as explained below.

The only difference, aside from different terminology that might be used (future taxes instead of deferred taxes) would be in the classification of the deferred tax account(s) on the statement of financial position. In this case, the statement of financial position disclosure would be the same under ASPE’s future/deferred income tax method as under IFRS since all temporary differences relate to differences between the tax base and carrying amount of property, plant and equipment which are classified as noncurrent. Therefore, the deferred tax liability would be included with non-current liabilities.

PROBLEM 18-7 (a)

Future taxable amounts increase future taxable income relative to pre-tax accounting income due to existing taxable temporary differences. Future deductible amounts decrease future taxable income relative to pre-tax accounting income due to existing deductible temporary differences. A deferred tax liability should be recorded for the future income tax consequences attributable to the future taxable amounts scheduled and a deferred tax asset should be recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to the future deductible amounts scheduled.

I might be concerned that the company will not generate enough taxable income in the future from which to deduct the future deductible amounts. If this were the case, their future deductibility would not qualify as having asset value. To the extent that the deferred tax asset will not be realized, an allowance to reduce the deferred tax asset account to the expected realizable value should be created. It becomes a valuation account, which will then ensure that the asset is reduced to the realizable value for financial statement reporting purposes. The use of the allowance account is optional. An alternative approach would be to establish a deferred tax asset only for the portion of the future taxes estimated more likely than not to be realized.

Note that strict application of IFRS would require that no allowance account be used. Instead, a deferred tax asset would be recognized only to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be used. Also, IFRS require that all deferred tax assets and liabilities be reported as non-current items on a classified statement of financial position.

Under ASPE, future tax assets and future tax liabilities are segregated into current and non-current categories. The classification of an individual future tax liability or asset as current or non-current is determined by the classification of the asset or liability underlying the specific temporary difference. In addition, although none of the calculations would change (except for the classification described above), companies applying ASPE may use different terminology—that is, future income tax accounts instead of deferred tax accounts.

Under ASPE, the classification is contingent on the balance sheet classification of the temporary difference underlying the future tax amount. In both cases, the property, plant and equipment and the litigation liability are non-current items, so all the future tax accounts would also be presented as non-current. Therefore, there would be no difference, except for a possible use of different terminology (future taxes instead of deferred taxes).

PROBLEM 18-10 (CONTINUED) (i)

When financial statements of several legal entities are consolidated into one for financial reporting purposes, the possibility exists that deferred tax accounts on the individual statements of financial position could be related to taxes from different jurisdictions. Since there is no right to offset taxes between jurisdictions, there is a possibility of having more than one account for deferred taxes reported on a statement of financial position (one for each legal entity). Under ASPE, there could also be one current and one long term deferred tax asset/liability account for each legal entity.

An income tax receivable account totalling $45,250 will be reported under current assets on the statement of financial position at December 31, 2016. This type of receivable is usually listed immediately above inventory in the current asset section. This receivable is normally collectible within two months of filing the amendment to the tax returns reflecting the carryback. Under ASPE, a future tax asset of $13,500 should also be classified as a current asset because the benefits of the loss carryforward are expected to be realized in the year that immediately follows the loss year, which means the benefits are expected to be realized in 2017. A current future tax asset is usually listed at or near the end of the list of current assets on the balance sheet. Also, retained earnings is increased by $58,750 ($45,250 + $13,500) as a result of the entries to record the benefits of the loss carryback and the loss carryforward. If Carly Inc. reports under IFRS, the deferred tax asset related to the loss carryforward would be classified as a non-current asset on the statement of financial position.

Using the valuation allowance instead of applying the reduction in value directly does not have any impact on cash flows. The use of the contra allowance simply permits the recording of the full benefits associated with all future deductible amounts in the asset account. This facilitates tracking for management purposes. It has no use for financial reporting purposes except, perhaps, for the transparency of the information. Readers can see the total possible benefits and the extent to which management has judged they will not be realized. Use of the allowance has no impact on cash flows.

PROBLEM 18-16 (a) (1)

If Golden has taxable income in 2017 and offset it with a loss carryforward from 2016, the 31% tax rate would be used when reducing the related deferred tax asset at December 31, 2017.

(2)

If Golden reports taxable income in 2017 and ends the year with a deferred tax liability, the 30% tax rate would be used in calculating the deferred tax liability at December 31, 2017. If Golden reports a taxable loss in 2017 that is not fully absorbed through a carryback (or if the firm elects not to carry the loss back), and future taxable income is expected to be more likely than not for 2018 and future years, Golden would use the 30% tax rate for its deferred tax asset from the tax loss carryforward.

Discussion: In determining the future tax consequences of temporary differences, it is helpful to prepare a schedule that shows in which future years existing temporary differences will result in taxable or deductible amounts. The appropriate enacted tax rate is applied to these future taxable and deductible amounts. In determining the appropriate tax rate, you must make assumptions about whether the entity will report taxable income or losses in the various future years expected to be affected by the reversal of existing temporary differences. So, you calculate the taxes payable or refundable in the future due to existing temporary differences. In making these calculations, you apply the provisions of the tax laws and enacted tax rates for the relevant periods. For future taxable (deductible) amounts, if taxable income is expected in the year that a future taxable (deductible) amount is scheduled, use the enacted rate for that future year to calculate the related deferred tax liability (asset).

If the company expects to recover the value of the asset through a sale in the next year, the proceeds on this sale will attract different income tax rates. The deferred tax liability should be calculated based on the applicable tax rates to be paid. Given the above information, the deferred tax liability is calculated as follows: $1,200,000 will be recaptured and taxed at 30% = $360,000 $3,000,000 will be taxed as capital gains and attract a tax rate of 15% (as given in the question) = $450,000 Total deferred tax liability will be $810,000 ($360,000 + $450,000). Any change required to adjust the deferred tax liability will be reported in net income, as the fair value adjustment was reported in net income.

(c)

If this property was accounted for using the revaluation method, the same amounts would apply as calculated above. However, changes required to adjust the deferred tax liability account would be reflected in other comprehensive income, since the revaluation adjustment was reported via the other comprehensive income account.




CASE Note: See the Case Primer on the Student website, as well as the Summary of the Case Primer in the front of the text. Note that the first few chapters in volume 1 lay the foundation for financial reporting decision making. CA 18-1 BAKER COMPANY LIMITED Overview - Assume that GAAP is a constraint since the financial statements are being audited. As a private company, the company could use ASPE or IFRS and therefore differences will be identified. - The role is that of company auditor and, therefore, the auditor would ensure transparency. - Management has high expectations of the company’s ability to turn around and continue to grow—and may be biased to show this. - Users include shareholders/investors who will want transparent statements. Given loss situation—they will be looking to decide whether to divest or not. Analysis and Recommendations Issue: The issue is whether the benefit from the losses should be recognized in the current financial statements. To the extent that taxes were paid in previous years, the losses would first be carried back to recover these taxes and a partial benefit could be recognized. The real issue is whether there is sufficient certainty to recognize the benefits that might be realized if the losses are carried forward. The benefits may be recognized if it is more likely than not that the benefits will be realized (under ASPE) or probable (under IFRS). This ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in the carryforward period to be able to utilize the loss and shelter future taxable income. Note that under ASPE, the entity has a choice to use the taxes payable method or future income taxes method. Solutions Manual 18-184 Chapter 18 Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.

RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS RA 18-1 DEFERRED TAX ASSETS and IAS 12 a) According to IAS 12.24, 25 and 27 and 28, income tax benefits associated with the ability to reduce income taxes in the future can be recognized as tax assets currently only if it is probable – more likely than not – that the entity will generate taxable income in the future against which those deductible temporary differences can be applied to reduce taxable income and future taxes. That is, the benefits have to be capable of being realized. Realization of the tax benefit of an existing deductible temporary difference or carryforward ultimately depends on being able to earn sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character (for example, ordinary income or capital gain, and within the same taxation authority) within the carryback, or, in your case, the carryforward period available under the tax law. If this is not “probable”, then the asset and associated reduction in the accounting loss cannot be recognized. (b) IAS 12.31 indicates that an entity should consider the guidance in paragraphs 35 and 36 when it has a history of recent losses such as Davida Limited has. In such a case, in addition to having enough taxable temporary differences, there has to be some convincing evidence in order to recognize the benefits and deferred tax asset currently. IAS 12.36 indicates what criteria should be considered in making judgements about whether future taxable income will be available. These criteria are: a. Future reversals of sufficient existing taxable temporary differences that will result in increased taxable income b. Future taxable income without considering reversing temporary differences and carryforwards in the carryforward period c. Whether the past losses were a result of specific events which are unlikely to recur in the future d. Whether tax-planning strategies could be implemented.




RA 18-1 DEFERRED TAX ASSETS and IAS 12 (CONTINUED) (c) IAS 12.30 provides examples of types of tax planning strategies that might be implemented to help ensure future taxable income will be available. These involve using tax regulations to your best advantage, particularly where an entity has choices. The examples provided can be summarized as: (1) Accelerate taxable income amounts, by deferring the tax deductibility of certain expenses or speeding up the taxability of certain income items, in order to use carryforwards before they expire (2) Sell capital assets that have appreciated in value to recover past capital cost allowance claimed that will increase future taxable income, or change the nature of taxable or deductible amounts from ordinary income or loss to capital gain or loss (3) Switch from investments that generate non-taxable income to those that generate taxable income. In Davida’s situation, some of these tax planning ideas are useful: 

 

In the past, the company has deducted more capital cost allowance than depreciation expense in determining its taxable losses. This has resulted in the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and increased provisions for income taxes (reduced tax benefit) on your income statements. The effect has been to increase your taxable losses available for carryforward. Management could approach the tax authorities for approval to open up and adjust past tax returns to eliminate any, and perhaps all, capital cost allowance claimed in the past. This would have the effect of reducing your past taxable losses and amount of loss carryforwards, and increasing the undepreciated capital cost of your capital assets that will be available to be used in the future. At a minimum, no capital cost allowance should be taken for the current year, thus increasing the current period taxable income. Davida should also perform a review of all its revenue and expense recognition policies, particularly for tax purposes, to determine if there are any that could legitimately be changed to recognize revenue earlier and expenses later.




RA 18-1 DEFERRED TAX ASSETS and IAS 12 (CONTINUED) (d) Whenever judgement must be exercised, such as in this situation in assessing the likelihood of generating sufficient future taxable income so that a significant income tax asset and income tax benefit can be recognized, management and the board of directors should have as their objective, the reporting of the situation closest to economic reality. That measure will be the one that is most relevant to stakeholders, to both existing and potential investors and creditors, and it will faithfully represent the company’s financial position and financial performance. Unfortunately, sometimes these decisions are made based on how management perceives the company’s resulting financial statements and its financial position and prospects will be interpreted by others. This latter approach presents difficulties for the following reasons:  







It is contrary to the concepts underlying generally accepted accounting principles, the very clear intent of IAS 12, and the professional ethics of Davida’s financial management personnel and the board of directors; The interests of financial statement users conflict with each other: for example, current shareholders want the prospects to look as good as possible so they can sell their shares at a high price, while potential shareholders are interested in buying in at a reasonable price, probably on the low side; As a relatively new company, it is important that users know they can depend on the financial position and results reported. If there is any indication of overly aggressive accounting, Davida will be penalized in the future through higher costs of capital – a risk component will get built into interest rates charged by creditors and prices paid for ownership capital. For all these reasons, the ethical, professional, and sustainable decision is to measure the likely availability of future taxable income applying judgement consistent with the objective of the IAS 12 requirements. Where management might be tempted to make less-than-ideal business decisions to attract a more advantageous tax treatment, such ethical dilemmas need to be resolved in terms of what is in the best long-run interests of the shareholders. Many of the tax planning ideas reflect only choices permitted under the tax legislation, and have no effect on company operations. There are no ethical implications related to making these choices.




RA 18-2 MAPLE LEAF FOODS INC. Note: all amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars. (a) The amount of the income tax expense (benefit) related to the loss from operations before discontinued operations on the company’s Statement of Net Earnings for 2014 was a benefit of $74,556 and for 2013, a benefit of $51,500. (Because of losses incurred in operations that are continuing, and the fact that these losses can be deducted from taxable incomes going back to recover past taxes and/or carried forward to reduce future taxable incomes, the benefits associated with some of the losses can qualify as a tax asset and tax benefit in the year of the loss.) The company uses intraperiod tax allocation relating to its discontinued operations in both years, as well as for its other comprehensive income (OCI) items. Note 25 indicates that discontinued operations attracted income tax expense of $107,123 in 2014 and $127,790 in 2013. The company had positive earnings and gains on the disposal of the operations they discontinued in each year, and the related tax effect needs to be associated with the underlying transactions that attract the tax. Items in OCI tend to be the result of unrealized gains and losses that will eventually attract income tax when realized. The tax expense/benefit, however, is associated with the events when recognized for accounting purposes. In 2014, three such specific items were recognized, resulting in recognizing a net $16,800 related tax benefit in OCI; and in 2013, three items were recognized which attracted a net income tax expense of $70,600. In each of the three cases in the two years, the tax is reported along with the type of gain or loss reported. There are income taxes payable of $26,614 on the most recent SFP, and $0 for the comparative date the previous year. However, there was $43,300 of income and other taxes receivable at December 31, 2013, but no amount for this account at December 31, 2014. This is in comparison with amounts reported on the statement of cash flows of net income taxes received of $1,442 and $28,537 in 2014 and 2013, respectively. It should be noted that the references to income tax adjustments to net earnings in the top portion of the operating cash flows section of the cash flow statement, both current and deferred, were merely to add back/deduct the amounts reported on the statements of net earnings so that the company could report the actual amount of net income taxes paid/received as a separate line item below. Reporting the income taxes paid or received in a year is a required disclosure. (b) The income tax benefits reported using the statutory tax rates and effective tax rates for 2014 and 2013 are presented below. There are minor differences between these two rates and the resulting benefits in each year because of offsetting amounts.

(d) Maple Leaf Foods, in Note 24, indicates that it has no unrecognized deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 (although it did have approximately $39,000 of such assets at December 31, 2013 representing mainly Canadian and U.S. tax losses available to carry forward). The company explains that tax benefits associated with all of its tax losses at December 31, 2014 are expected to be realized in the future through earning sufficient taxable profits. The company indicates that it has unrecognized deferred tax liabilities related to the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and other investments. The reason provided for the non-recognition is that Maple Leaf Foods is able to control the distribution of any such amounts in the future and it is not probable that such amounts will be distributed in the foreseeable future. Therefore, since there will be no future reversal of the temporary differences, no deferral has been recognized. Solutions Manual 18-197 Chapter 18 Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd.

One would expect companies in the same industry to have similar temporary differences and these three companies do have some major temporary differences in common. Although the companies use different wording to describe the underlying temporary differences and report in varying degrees of detail, there are major similarities for property and equipment, goodwill and intangibles, loss carryforwards, and for other liabilities (the expectation is that Couche-Tard’s “expenses deductible in future” are similar).

(d) Yes, in many respects, one would expect the three companies to be subject to similar income tax legislation and tax rates, in that all three are Canadian based companies. However, Loblaw and Empire operate in most provinces, while Couche-Tard operates mainly in Quebec and Ontario in Canada, as well as in many countries around the world. Therefore, Couche-Tard’s tax rates may be somewhat different. The three companies’ statutory rates and their effective tax rates are indicated below.

Both Couche-Tard and Loblaw benefitted from lower tax rates in other jurisdictions, although Loblaw indicates in Note 35 that all material operations are carried out in Canada. Most of the differences between the statutory rates and effective rates are due to the types of non-operating transactions that the companies engaged in during the year. For example, Loblaw made a fair value (loss) adjustment on a Trust Unit Liability which was likely not a tax-deductible item, thereby increasing the company’s effective rate. Empire, on the other hand, appears to have had capital gains in its income which attract a lower rate of tax. (e) Loblaw discloses the fact that it has unrecognized deferred tax assets of $76 million relating to deductible temporary differences ($19) and income tax losses ($57). While the tax losses expire in years ranging from 2027 to 2034, the deductible temporary differences do not expire. The reason provided for the non-recognition of the associated tax benefits as deferred tax assets is that it is considered not probable that future taxable income will be available to enable the company to use the temporary differences to reduce future income taxes payable. Empire indicates that all deferred tax assets have been recognized in the accounts, while Couche-Tard makes no mention of any unrecognized amounts.

East Japan: increase made in valuation allowance 3. NSB Group: ¾ of the reduction due to permanent differences related to investments, most of remainder due to recognition of benefit of tax loss not previously recognized 4. CNR: minor difference due to minor offsetting tax reduction due to lower rates for capital gains and increase due to a prior year’s income taxes 5. Union Pacific: two very minor offsetting differences




RA 18-4 INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON (CONTINUED) (b) (continued) The table above indicates that most countries in the list have a similar statutory rate of 30% – 38%, with Canada and Norway a little lower at 27%. It is interesting to note the difference between the federal and provincial/state rates of the U.S. and Canadian railways, most likely reflecting a difference in the areas that each level of government has responsibility for. All countries appear to be applying the same method of accounting for income taxes for financial reporting purposes.




RA 18-5 IFRS and ASPE (a) (1) ASPE: Under ASPE, an adjustment must be made to the deferred tax liability account so that it is measured and reported at the amount at which the liability is expected to be settled, normally using those rates enacted at the reporting date. [Section 3465.51] Therefore, an adjustment of $30,000 ($1 million X the 3% increase in rates) is required to increase the deferred tax liability to the correct balance. The associated $30,000 adjustment to income tax expense is required to be reported in with the current year’s deferred income tax expense in income before discontinued operations. [Section 3465.59 and .60] IFRS: Under IFRS, the increase in the deferred tax liability of $30,000 is identical because IFRS requires the deferred liability to be measured at the amount expected to be needed to settle the obligation to the tax authorities, using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date. [IAS12.47]. The treatment required for the corresponding increase in tax expense under IFRS is different than that indicated for ASPE. IAS 12.58(a) and .61A require backward tracing; that is, for the deferred tax adjustment to be recognized directly in equity (in this case, retained earnings) if the original deferral was recognized in equity. (2) ASPE: Under ASPE, the building is required to be carried at amortized cost and will not be revalued to fair value. Such assets are not revalued, (except one time on transition to IFRS which is being ignored as part of this question). Therefore, the existing temporary difference of $6.5 million – ($8.0 million - $2.3 million) or $0.8 million remains, but the deferred tax liability related to this temporary difference must be adjusted for the same reasons as in part (1). The adjustment required, then, is an increase in the deferred tax liability of $24,000 or ($800,000 X 3%) [see Section 3465.51]. The associated increase in the deferred tax expense is reported in the current year’s deferred tax expense and in income before discontinued operations [see 3465.59 and .60]. IFRS: Under IFRS, the company has the option of accounting for the building at amortized cost, and the required adjustment in this case would be the same as indicated under ASPE. However, under IFRS, the company also has an option to account for the building using the revaluation method. Using this method, the increase in the fair value of $3.5 million ($10.0 million less $6.5 million) results in a “gain” that is reported in revaluation surplus, a component of OCI. There is now a total temporary difference of $4.3 million between the accounting value of the asset of $10.0 million and its tax base of $5.7 million ($8 million – $2.3 million).




RA 18-5 IFRS and ASPE (CONTINUED) (a) (continued) (2) (continued) The related deferred tax liability on the reporting date would be: Balance before adjustment: 25% X ($6.5 million - $5.7 million) = $200,000 cr Increase due to 3% tax increase: 3% ($6.5 million - $5.7 million) = 24,000 cr Deferred tax on revaluation gain in OCI: 28% X ($10 million - $6.5 million) = 980,000 cr Total = $1,204,000 cr Under this option, in addition to the $24,000 increase in the deferred tax liability account on the balance sheet and the deferred income tax expense on the income statement due to the 3% increase in the tax rate [see IAS 12.58], a revaluation gain of $3.5 million would be reported in OCI (revaluation surplus), net of a deferred income tax expense of $980,000 [see IAS 12.61]. The deferred tax liability account increases by a total of $24,000 + $980,000 = $1,004,000. Tax expense components relating to the change in tax rates would be separately disclosed [see IAS 12.80(d)]. The deferred tax liability is reported on the statement of financial position as a non-current liability [see IAS 1.69]. (3) ASPE: While ASPE permits use of the taxes payable method or the temporary difference approach for reporting income taxes, LGS appears to have adopted the temporary difference (future income taxes) approach for its prior period adjustments and capital assets, and the same approach is assumed throughout these situations [see Section 3465.03]. However, the company has the option of reporting this investment at fair value through net income (FV-NI) or at cost. If the equity investment is accounted for at cost, the investment’s carrying amount remains at $340,000, and no increase in value is reported in net income. Also, since the gain is only reported for tax purposes when realized, there is no effect on taxes payable in 2017. In addition, because the tax base and accounting value of the asset are the same at $340,000, there is no temporary difference and therefore no deferred tax liability.




RA 18-5 IFRS and ASPE (CONTINUED) (a) (continued) (3) (continued) If the investment is adjusted to its fair value of $510,000, the resulting unrealized gain of $170,000 ($510,000 – $340,000) is reported in net income. The tax base of the investment is $340,000, the accounting value is $510,000, and therefore there is a temporary difference of $170,000. At a tax rate of 28%, the deferred tax liability account needs to be increased by $47,600 ($170,000 X 28%). This tax effect is reported as the deferred tax expense component of income tax expense on the 2017 income statement in income before discontinued operations [Section 3465.20, .51 and .59]. IFRS: Under IFRS, LGS must account for the investment at fair value through net income (FV-NI), since the investment was not acquired for contractual cash flows and it appears the shares were acquired for trading purposes. In this situation, the accounting is exactly the same as for ASPE above when carried at FV-NI [IAS 12.15, 46 and .47, 58, .77]. NOTE: Under ASPE, LGS is permitted to switch to the taxes payable method without the usual stipulations required for a change in accounting policy required under Section 1506.06(b) [Section 3465.03]. If the company did change to the taxes payable method, the effects of using the temporary difference/future income taxes method would be accounted for retroactively. The effect would be the elimination the existing deferred tax liability account and a reduction in income tax expense in each of the specific years the deferrals had been increased, adjusted through 2017’s opening retained earnings. For situations (1) to (3), none of the effects in the ASPE columns in the table below would be applicable.

It appears the effects are relatively similar. The areas of difference relate to the fact that under ASPE, more adjustments are recognized in net income – in part (1) because of no backward tracing of changes in tax rates, and in part (2) because ASPE does not allow fair value changes to be recognized anywhere other than net income (does not allow the revaluation method or the FV-OCI method for investments, and does not recognize OCI). A real difference would be felt if LGS chose to use the taxes payable method instead, as there would be no adjustments on an ongoing basis under ASPE in the table above.




RA 18-6 BASIC CONCEPTS and PRINCIPLES (a) The following objectives of accounting for income taxes are identified in the introduction to IAS 12 Income Taxes: 1. To recognize the current and future tax consequences related to a. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the statement of financial position as those assets are realized and obligations are met, and b. The current accounting period transactions and events that have been recognized. 2. To report the current and future tax consequences of current period transactions, activities and events together with the type of transaction or event that gave rise to the tax effect. 3. To properly recognize and report information about the tax consequences related to unused tax losses and unused tax credits. 4. To appropriately present and disclose information related to income taxes in the financial statements.

(b) The following basic principles are applied in accounting for income taxes at the date of the financial statements: 1. A current income tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable based on the tax return for the current year. 2. A deferred income tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards using the enacted (or substantially enacted) tax rates expected to apply when the temporary differences reverse. 3. Current income tax expense, for the most part, is related to the recognition of revenues and expenses under GAAP. 4. Future tax expense is based on the changes required in the carrying amounts of the deferred tax assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position. 5. If necessary, and based on available evidence, deferred tax assets are adjusted to remove the potential tax benefits where it is not probable that they will be realized. 6. Income tax expense is “matched” with the related type of transaction that gave rise to the tax, such as with income before discontinued operations, discontinued operations, items of OCI, events recognized in retained earnings, and with types of capital transactions.




RA 18-6 BASIC CONCEPTS and PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED) (c) Under the future income taxes method (ASPE) or the temporary difference approach (IFRS) of accounting for income taxes, the deferred (or future) income tax outflows and inflows related to the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities for their carrying amounts are recognized as deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets. (Note: we use the term deferred here and below for both IFRS and ASPE to simplify the discussion.) These deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets meet the definitions of liabilities and assets in the conceptual framework. Temporary differences between an asset’s or liability's carrying amount and its tax base or unused tax losses, may generate benefits in the future in the form of reduced tax payments or a recovery of taxes paid in the past. Temporary differences between an asset’s or liability's carrying amount and its tax base may require additional tax payments in the future as the asset is realized or liability is settled. This method is considered to be more effective in achieving the objective of financial reporting— communicating information that is useful to users—as the method provides users with better measures of a company’s economic resources and obligations where there are income tax consequences associated with asset and liability recovery or settlement. In reporting deferred tax assets and liabilities, there is one difference between ASPE and IFRS. ASPE (under this alternative) will report future tax assets or future tax liabilities as either current or non-current. This classification will depend on when the future tax amount is expected to reverse. Under IFRS, all deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.




RA 18-6 BASIC CONCEPTS and PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED) (d) An asset provides an economic benefit to the entity, the entity controls access to the benefit and it results from past transactions or events. Currently, there are two issues relating to the measurement and reporting of deferred tax assets: 



The cash effects related to the benefits of this asset will be received sometime in the future. As such, it should be discounted to approximate the present value of the benefit to be received. Also, the amounts of the future benefits are not assured, they are merely “probable,” and they are not single point estimates. Therefore, preferred measurements would use probabilities of likely outcomes to determine the best estimate of the economic resource. Also, to what extent does the entity control the asset? In the case of loss carryforward benefits where the company has not been profitable, the government does not owe the company this amount, and the realization of this deferred tax asset is highly dependent on a future event that may or may not happen. Consequently, the right is not “controllable”. Perhaps it would be better thought of as merely a “conditional right to receive the benefits”. Using this strict definition, perhaps the deferred tax asset arising from the use of loss carryforwards should not be recorded.

A liability represents a present duty or responsibility that obligates the company, giving it little discretion to avoid the obligation that results from a past transaction. Similar issues arise in looking at deferred tax liabilities within this definition: 



The amount of this liability may be paid sometime in the future. As such, it should be discounted to approximate the present value of the obligation that will be met in the future. In addition, there are a variety of different outcomes. As a result, it could be argued that the entity should estimate the amount and timing of the obligation under each of these different outcomes, determine the present values of each of these outcomes, and then estimate the probability of each outcome. Does this represent a represent an enforceable obligation? The company does not yet owe these taxes. The amount of the deferred tax liability will depend on future taxable profits, and when these temporary differences will reverse. For example, if a company continues to invest in property, plant and equipment and the capital cost allowance claim is always greater than the depreciation for tax purposes, then it may be a long time (if ever) that any requirement for payment will arise Consequently, the obligation is not presently enforceable. This liability represents a “conditional obligation to pay” given certain future events occur, and this is not a liability.




RA 18-7 OPERATING and ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Accelerated depreciation, such as the double-declining balance method used for income tax purposes, allows a company to deduct substantial capital cost allowance early in an asset’s life. Yearly CCA declines to a point where the accelerated CCA amount is lower than the depreciation expense computed under the straight-line method. The reversing point occurs when the accelerated CCA matches the straight-line rate. Some companies are motivated to sell assets prior to this point to maximize the CCA benefit provided in terms of income taxes. As long as the company is growing, the company may receive a prolonged deferral of income taxes. This is possible because, while the proceeds received on sale of the old asset reduce the balance in the CCA Class involved, it is replenished with the higher cost of the replacement asset which can then start to be tax depreciated at a substantial amount. (b) The types of ethical implications related to the company’s aggressive deferral of income tax include those related to applying the tax legislation, Henrietta’s professional considerations as an accountant, and the general business ethics of the company. These need to be assessed by Henrietta because of the non-payment of current income taxes by the company. This is possible due to the tax deferral permitted by temporary differences caused by the difference in financial accounting principles and tax laws. The practice of selling-off assets before the differences reverse and replacing them with new assets means that the company has transferred the obligation to pay taxes several years into the future. (c) Shareholders would be harmed by Mesa’s income tax practice. In order to maintain this policy, and using the mechanism described in (a) above, the company has to systematically acquire new assets at a cost higher than the previously disposed assets. To repurchase assets at a lower cost could also trigger recaptured CCA in some cases. This means that management is probably embarking on a short-term policy of improving its financial picture at the cost of a damaging cash management policy, or it is indebting itself and increasing the company’s solvency risk. One would also have to question whether there is a legitimate need for these new assets. This would be demonstrated by a decrease in the effectiveness of their use of assets in declining return-on-assets and asset turnover ratios. Preconceived accounting outcomes should not drive corporate policies. In summary, Henrietta has to determine whether the business decisions are being made within a narrow objective of reducing income tax cash flows, and whether this is detrimental to the company as a whole. Does this policy result in the company having a higher than necessary cost of capital, for example?




RA 18-7 OPERATING & ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (d) As an ethical accountant, Henrietta is obligated to uphold objectivity and integrity in the practice of financial reporting. As an ethical professional accountant, she has a duty to communicate her concerns about whether such a practice is in the best long-run interests of the company and its shareholders, as indicated above. If she thinks that this practice is unethical, then she needs to communicate her concerns to the highest levels of management within Mesa, including members of the Board and/or the Audit Committee. It would appear here that Mesa Inc. is simply trying to minimize its cash income tax payments, which probably would not be considered illegal or unethical. Current tax legislation permits taxpayers to arrange their affairs in order to pay the minimum amount of tax—when it is done within tax rules. Henrietta should ensure that what the company is doing is not only within the letter of the law, but also within the spirit of the legislation, if specified, and is, in fact, in the best interests of the company. Does the legislation indicate an overall objective related to the capital cost allowance system that might have precedence over the specific regulations? She should ensure that these transactions and policies would be considered acceptable by CRA, and that they would not be considered having a sole purpose of avoiding paying income taxes. Such activities that are structured to be within the rules but have no bona fide business purpose can be caught under GAAR (General anti-avoidance rules). These transactions, if considered unacceptable, could be re-assessed by the Canada Revenue Agency.
