The original IAS 12 did not refer explicitly to fair value adjustments made on a business combination and did not require an enterprise to recognize a deferred tax liability in respect of asset revaluations. The revised IAS 12 “income taxes” now requires deferred tax adjustments for these items and classifies them as temporary differences.
Required:
Explain the reasons why IAS 12 (revised) requires companies to provide for deferred taxation on revaluations of assets and fair value adjustments on a business combination irrespective of the tax effect in the current accounting period.

Sumias Sugar Company Limited is in the process of finalizing its financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2003.
Its loss before taxation for the year is Sh.110 million. Included in this figure is a capital gain on the sale of some land: the capital gain was Sh.20 million. In arrival at loss figure, non-allowable expenses (for taxation purposes) of Sh.10 million had been incurred and a non-allowable depreciation charge of Sh.120 million had also been made. The equivalent tax-allowable capital allowances (wear and tear deductions and farm works deductions) figure was Sh.50 million.
The performance of the company depends very much on how much cheap sugar is imported tax free from COMESA region. However, the directors have an assurance from the Treasury that suitable action will be taken. Based on this assurance you have projected that profit in the year to 31 March 2004 will be Sh.150 million; there will be a non-allowable expenses of Sh.20 million in the year to 31 March 2004, and it is envisaged that a non-taxable capital gain will be made ofSh.10 million (you have included these in the projected profit of Sh.150 million). The capital allowances figure will be Sh.80 million and the depreciation charge will be Sh.130 million.
At 31 March 2002, there was a deferred tax liability due to accelerated capital allowances of Sh.500 million and a deferred tax asset on a tax loss brought forward of Sh.20 million. The rate of corporation tax throughout the period should be taken to be 30%. Tax losses can be carried backwards in Kenya, but can be carried forward indefinitely.
Required:
(a). Compare the tax liability for the year ended 31 March 2003 and the estimated liability for the year ending 31 March 2004.
(b). Show the part of the income statement from 'profit (loss) before tax' to 'profit (loss) after tax' and showing the tax charge or credit in its separate components and as a sub-total, for both years.

Recently, the Githurai store has seriously under performed against its budget for the year ending 31 December 2000. Rising insecurity in the area together with difficulties in obtaining access to the store have seriously adversely affected its financial performance. The Githurai store together with the Kahawa store were purchased from Ruiru Superstores on 1 January 1998 for Sh.25 million and Sh.25 million and Sh.15 million respectively plus goodwill of Sh.8 million for both stores. The stores are being depreciated on the straightline method to nil residual value over 20 years the goodwill is being amortized to nil on the straight line basis over the same period. The Githurai store could be sold for Sh.15 million net. Its value in use is Sh.20 million. Management have performed a “bottom-up” test in relation to the goodwill and the purchase prices of the stores and are satisfied that a 'top-down' test is not needed.
