Explanation / Answer

Tax calculation for the accounting and taxation purpose :

20000 * 50% = $10000

Company has paid tax of $37500 but as per income tax only $36000 has been recognised as Income tax expense, so the assets of Deferred tax of $1500 got raised.

Thus, the Journal entry towards the recording of income tax for 2017 :

Debit Income Tax Expense $36000

Debit Deferred Tax Assets $1500

Credit Cash $37500

(being income tax expense booked alongwith excess tax paid as deferred tax assets)

Accounting Taxation Income before depeciattion and tax 150000 - 20000 = $130000 150000 - 20000 = $130000 Less: Income of M. Bonds $20000 $20000 Less: Depreciation expense 20000/4= $5000

20000 * 50% = $10000

Taxable income $125000 $120000 Tax (30%) $37500 $36000
