Kent Land Management reported pretax income of $100 million in 2005, 2006 and 2007, plus additional 2005 income of $40 million from installment sales of

property.

The installment sales income is reported on the tax return when it is collected in 2006 ($10 million) and in

2007 ($30 million).

The enacted tax rate is 40% each year.2005 2006 2007 Total

In this case there is no receivable for tax purposes since the installment is taken into taxable income when

received.

The carrying (book) value is reduced as the cash is received, which in turn reduces the temporary difference.

Slide16-29

Valuation Allowances

Remember that a future deductible amount reduces taxable income and saves taxes

only if there is taxable income to be reduced when the future deduction is

available.

A valuation allowance is needed if taxable income is anticipated to be insufficient to

realize the tax benefit.

Slide16-30

Valuation Allowances

The valuation allowance must be re-evaluated at the end of each accounting

period like all other allowances.

The appropriate balance is decided and the balance is adjusted to create that

balance.

The account commonly used is Valuation allowance – future income tax asset.

Tax laws often allow a company to use tax NOLs to offset taxable income in earlier or

subsequent periods.

Tax laws often allow a company to use tax NOLs to offset taxable income in earlier or

When used to offset earlier taxable income:

Called: operating loss carryback.

Result in a tax refund.

When used to offset earlier taxable income:

When used to offset future taxable income:

Called: operating loss carryforward.

Net Operating Losses (NOL)

The general principle is that the tax benefits of losses should be recognized in

the period of the loss to the extent possible.

It is usually advantageous to carry back losses by filing an amended tax return to

realize the benefit sooner.

Net Operating Losses (NOL)

During 2005, its first year of operations, Atlantic reported an operating loss of $125

million for financial reporting and tax purposes. The enacted tax rate is 40%.

Let’s assume that the company determines that it is more likely than not to generate sufficient taxable income in future so that

the benefit can be realized.

NOL – Future Taxable Income Not Likely

Assume that Atlantic’s future is uncertain and that there is insufficient evidence about the possibility of future taxable

income to recognize the income tax asset and benefit related to the $125 million of

income tax losses.

In this case there would not be any income tax entry for 2005.
