ACCT 3021 Lecture : New Chp 19 Class Notes
Document Summary
There are different rules for financial accounting and tax accounting. This could lead to a difference between income tax expense on the financial statements and income taxes payable to the irs. Pretax financial income is the same as income before taxes and is used in financial reporting. Taxable income indicates the amount used to compute income taxes payable and is used for tax purposes. Differences between these numbers occur because companies use full accrual accounting for financial reporting and a modified cash basis for tax purposes. Differences are temporary differences difference b/t the tax basis of an asset/liability and its reported (cv or bv) amount in the financial statements. Results in either: taxable amounts increase taxable income in future years, deductible amounts decrease taxable income in future years, see ill. 19-22 for examples of temporary differences. Permanent difference nondeductible expenses or nontaxable revenues that are recognized for financial statement purposes but are never part of taxable income.
