RECOGNITION
The fundamental principle under PAS 12 is that “an entity shall, with certain limited
exceptions, recognize a deferred tax liability whenever recovery or settlement of the
carrying amount of an asset or liability would make future tax payments larger than
they would be in such recovery or settlement were to have no tax consequences.”
MEASUREMENTS
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply to the period of their reversal, based on tax rates that have been substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting period.
