Deferred tax liabilities

Deferred tax liabilities. That sounds like a complicated accounting concept, but it turns out to be much easier to understand than you might think. Deferred tax liabilities are the accounting answer to a question asked by tax legislators in governments around the world: “Would you like to pay your corporate income taxes much much much later?”. Why would governments provide this incentive to corporations? The main reason is that capital investments create jobs! Let’s explore how that leads to #deferredtax liabilities on a company’s balance sheet.

    Thank you very much for the kind words, Ananth! Completely agree with you: deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities can have a huge impact on the financial position of a company. If I can suggest a few other topics in that category: retained earnings, goodwill, noncontrolling interest. All of these are discussed in my "Intermediate Accounting" playlist: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qp2rs8pudZqwh7Q.html&pp=gAQBiAQB Please spread the word about the channel to friends and colleagues!

    How long can taxes be deferred for? And is it just for depreciation, or can it be used for other expenses? Edit: A bit off-topic, but when a corporation issues stock above its book value, does the difference count as profit?

    Regardless of what price the stock is issued for, the journal entry is Dr Cash $x Cr Shareholder's Equity $x It goes straight to the balance sheet and has no impact on the P/L accounts, so it can't be profit.

    From reading through many annual reports of various large corporations, I have found that deferred tax liabilities are mostly related to depreciation of property, plant and equipment. To a lesser extent, acquisitions related intangible assets are mentioned as another driver of deferred tax liabilities. There is no "fixed rule" on how long taxes can be deferred for. It depends on how similar or different the treatments (of for example depreciation) are for tax purposes vs book purposes. See also my video on deferred tax: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYV_2NyHhpS3p5s.html On the question of issuing stock above book value, the more detailed answer is that this difference gets recorded as a credit to paid-in capital.

    GAAP P&L is the profit and loss statement per the accounting rules for reporting to the stock market (IFRS, US GAAP, etc.), while TAX P&L is the profit and loss statement prepared according to the tax accounting rules of the country.

    That depends on whether the tax amortization versus GAAP amortization rules are different in the country that the investment is in. If so, then you would have a deferred tax liability as well.

    Depends on the structure of the deal (are you selling the assets or the equity), the fiscal status of the company (what type of legal entity, if any), and your local country tax rules. There's no general answer to that question.

In the USA, when buying a real estate asset (or the ownership entity of an asset) must one account for the seller’s depreciation schedule or not? Alternatively phrased, must one account for the effects of accelerated depreciation on the eventual buyer when planning a sale in the coming few years?

    Correct. If the rules and/or principles you apply for preparing different sets of books are different, then you get different outcomes in the P&L. That's why at a large multinational company I used to work at, one of our internal controls was to have a stat-to-GAAP reconciliation (listing and tying out all line items that were different between statutory submission and US GAAP submission).
