[A depreciable non-current asset, with differing depreciation rates for accounting and tax,
can lead to the recognition of either a Deferred Tax Asset or a Deferred Tax Liability.
In the early years of on asset's life, if the tax depreciation rate is higher than the accounting
depreciation rate, then this creates a temporary difference. In this case, our tax deductions
in the early years exceed that for accounting depreciation. This reduces taxable profits in.the
early/current year, in future yeors, we have fewer deductions for tax purposes. This gives rise
to higher taxable profits in future which fs 0 taxable temporory difference and more tax
payable in future i.e. DTL. The DTL is then'eyersed over the life of the asset.
If, however, the tax depreciation rate is lower than the accaunting depreciation rate, our tax
deductions in the early/current year are lower than that recorded far accounting. In future
years, we have greater deductions for tax purposes. This leads to lower taxable profits inin future |.e. OTA, The
future which is o deductible temporory difference, and less tax payable
DIA is then reversed over the life of the asset.
