Financial Reporting
Income Tax Expense on the income statement is based on pre-tax income computed using GAAP (or IFRS) Financial Statements (Books): Pre-tax income (per GAAP rules) x Effective tax rate . = Income Tax Expense Income Tax Payable (or paid in cash) is based on Taxable Income using tax code rules Tax Return: Taxable income (per IRS rules) x Statutory tax rate = Income Tax Payable
Example
Books 2011 EBITDA 50,000 2012 50,000 EBITDA Tax Return 2011 50,000 2012 50,000
EBITDA in this example is Earnings before depreciation, municipal bond interest revenue, and taxes
Permanent Differences
Revenues that are never included in taxable income and expenses that are never deductible for tax purposes
Examples: Interest on tax-exempt municipal bonds, tax penalties and tax credits, state and foreign taxes
Do not reverse over time Cause the Effective Tax Rate to not equal the Statutory Tax Rate
Temporary Differences
Revenues or expenses recognized in a different period for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes
Examples: book vs. tax depreciation, bad debt expense, unearned revenue
Pre-Tax Income: Earnings before taxes under GAAP Taxable Income: Earnings before taxes under tax rules
Differences between pre-tax income and taxable income arise from permanent and temporary differences
Statutory rate: Tax rate set by the government Income Tax Payable: Taxes owed to the government
Taxable income x statutory rate
Temporary Differences
Differences between Income Tax Expense on the financial statements and Income Tax Payable to the government that will reverse over time Income Tax Expense = Adjusted Pre-tax income x statutory tax rate
Adjusted Pre-tax income based on GAAP rules and excludes permanent differences For convenience, I will say Pre-Tax Income instead of Adjusted Pre-Tax Income Expense on income statement
Temporary Differences are stored in Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities We will use 35% as the statutory tax rate in all calculations unless otherwise noted

KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
If the government changes the statutory tax rate, the balances in DTA and DTL must be adjusted to reflect the new rate, with the adjustment running through Income Tax Expense
Tax rate increase:
DTAs increase -> Dr. Deferred Tax Asset (+A), Cr. Income Tax Expense (-E) DTLs increase -> Dr. Income Tax Expense (+E), Cr. Deferred Tax Liability (+L)

9,450
Balance in DTL is $9,450 (under 35% rate) Pre-tax Difference = $9,450 / 0.35 = $27,000
Note: this is the difference in Accumulated Depreciation (107,000 80,000)
Balance in DTL is $9,450 (under 35% rate) Pre-tax Difference = $9,450 / 0.35 = $27,000 DTL at new rate = $27,000 x 0.40 = $10,800
Balance in DTL is $9,450 (under 35% rate) Pre-tax Difference = $9,450 / 0.35 = $27,000 DTL at new rate = $27,000 x 0.40 = $10,800 Required increase in DTL = $10,800 - $9,450 = $1,350 Dr. Income Tax Expense (+E) 1,350 Cr. Deferred Tax Liability (+L) 1,350
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Balance in DTA is $17,500 (under 35% rate) Pre-tax Difference = $17,500 / 0.35 = $50,000
Balance in DTA is $17,500 (under 35% rate) Pre-tax Difference = $17,500 / 0.35 = $50,000 DTA at new rate = $50,000 x 0.40 = $20,000
Balance in DTA is $17,500 (under 35% rate) Pre-tax Difference = $17,500 / 0.35 = $50,000 DTA at new rate = $50,000 x 0.40 = $20,000 Required increase in DTA = $20,000 - $17,500 = $2,500 Dr. Deferred Tax Asset (+A) 2,500 Cr. Income Tax Expense (-E) 2,500

Valuation Allowance
Deferred Tax Assets represent future tax savings; i.e. a reduction in future cash outflows But, companies can only realize tax savings if they are profitable
DTA reduces taxes paid, but will not produce a refund if the company does not have to pay taxes
Companies do not have to pay taxes when they have negative taxable income
Must have positive taxable income and positive income tax payable
Companies can only report a Deferred Tax Asset if it is more likely than not the firm will be profitable enough in the future to take advantage of the tax savings If it is not more likely than not, companies must reduce the DTA using a Valuation Allowance (XA)
Works just like Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Example: NOLs
In 2011, Noll International Inc. experienced an $80,000 net operating loss (i.e. negative taxable income) in its US subsidiary, and a $150,000 net operating loss in its Liechtenstein subsidiary Noll did not pay taxes in 2009-2010 in either jurisdiction, so it cannot carry the loss back to get a refund Noll expects it is more likely than not to be able to use NOL carryforwards in 2014 in both countries
US tax rate is expected to be 35%. The US DTA is $80,000 x .35 = $28,000 Liechtenstein tax rate is expected to be 15%. The LI DTA is $150,000 x .15 = $22,500
