Question

Tiger Limited has profit before tax of R250 000 for the year ended 31 December 2019. When calculating this figure, the following information was correctly accounted for:

• Telephone payment of R5 000 is due for 2019 but has not yet been paid (deductible for tax purposes in the current year).
• Unearned sales income of R18 000 received in advance in respect of 2020 (taxable in the current year).
• Interest income of R7 000 is receivable (taxable in the current year).
• The rent for the first month in 2020 of R10 000 has already been paid (deductible for tax purposes in the current year).
• Dividend income of R12 000 was earned during 2019 (not taxable).
• A donation of R6 000 was paid during 2019 (not deductible for tax purposes).
• Depreciation of R40 000 was expensed during the year. The tax authority has calculated wear and tear to be R25 000.
