Blue Sky Company reported the following results for the year ended December 31, 2021, its first year of operations:
2021
Income (per books before income taxes) $ 1,500,000
Taxable income 3,200,000
The disparity between book income and taxable income is attributable to a temporary difference which will reverse in 2022. What should Blue Sky record as a net deferred tax asset or liability for the year ended December 31, 2021, assuming that the enacted tax rates in effect are 35% in 2021 and 20% in 2022?
Income (As per books) = $ 15,00,000
Taxable income (As per Tax Laws) = $ 32,00,000
The company has shown book income of $15,00,000. However, the Company needs to pay tax as per tax laws on taxable income of $ 32,00,000 in next year (2022) , where tax rate is 20%. Since, taxable income is greater than book income, it will record the temporary difference into a Deferred Tax Liability (DTL) for the year ended December 31, 2021.
DTL Amount = (32,00,000 * Tax rate of 2022 i.e.20%) - (15,00,000 * Tax rate of 2021 i.e.35%) = $ 1,15,000.
