CR – Nov 2014 – L3 – SB – Q2b – Income Taxes (IAS 12)

Discuss reasons for variances in effective tax rates and differences between tax charges and tax payments.

Mr. Ojoowuro, the director of a grocery store, has noticed that the tax charge for his company is N15million on profits before tax of N105million. This is an effective rate of 14.3%. Another company, Irin Plc, has an income tax charge of N30million on profit before tax of N90million. This is an effective rate of tax of 33.3%, yet both companies state that the rate of income tax applicable to them is 25%. Mr. Ojoowuro has also noticed that in the statements of cash flows, each company has paid the same amount of tax of N24million.

Required:
Advise Mr. Ojoowuro on the possible reasons why the income tax charge in the financial statements as a percentage of the profit before tax may not be the same as the applicable income tax rate and why the tax paid in the statement of cash flows may not be the same as the tax charge in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

CR – May 2021 – L3 – Q6 – Associates and Joint Ventures (IAS 28)

Discuss equity accounting for investment, accounting for deferred tax, and calculate the recoverable amount of equipment.

Awa Publish has just recently acquired 18% of the shareholding in Tunbe, making it the second largest single shareholder. The majority shareholder has 58% voting shares, while the remainder of the shares is held by ten other shareholders, none holding more than 5% voting shares. The board of directors of Tunbe is made up of 12 members, with Awa Publish having 3 members and the majority shareholder having 7 members.

Awa Publish was able to negotiate its representation on the board due to its strategic importance in Tunbe’s operations and expansion plans. The directors of Awa Publish accounted for its investment in Tunbe as an equity investment. The directors feel that Tunbe should not be accounted for as an associate because Awa Publish does not have 20% of the voting interest and thus does not exercise significant influence over Tunbe.

Tunbe has been making losses for the past three years and has only returned a taxable profit once in the last five years. The projection is that Tunbe will return to making taxable profits in another five years. As part of the acquisition of shares in Tunbe, deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences arose. The directors of Awa Publish are unsure how to account for this deferred tax asset.

Awa Publish has an item of equipment that cost N56 million. This item of plant and equipment currently has a carrying amount in the financial statements of N39.2 million. Awa Publish expects the operation of the equipment to generate undiscounted cash flows of N7 million per year for the next five years.

Awa Publish could generate immediate cash flow of N40 million if it sold the equipment today. However, if it did go ahead with the sale, it will have to pay a sales commission of 8.5%. The directors of Awa Publish are performing an annual impairment review and understand that determining the recoverable amount is an important part of this exercise.

Required:

a. Discuss how the investment in Tunbe should be accounted for in the financial statements of Awa Publish. (7 Marks)

b. Advise the directors of Awa Publish how the deferred tax asset that has arisen should be accounted for. (7 Marks)

c. Assist the directors of Awa Publish to determine the recoverable amount of the equipment. You may assume a discount rate of 10% or five-year annuity rate of 3.791, if relevant. (6 Marks)
