A deferred tax liability (or asset) is described as the tax effect of the temporary difference between the financial statement carrying amount (book value) of an asset or liability and its tax basis.
Explain this tax effect of the temporary difference. How might it produce a deferred tax liability? A deferred tax asset?
Temporary differences result in future taxable or deductible amounts when the related asset or liability is recovered or settled. Some differences, though, are not temporary.
What events create permanent differences? What effect do these have on the determination of income taxes payable? Of deferred income taxes? Of tax expense?
