Deferred tax: Accounting measure to match the tax effect of transactions with the accounting
impact to produce less distorted results
Temporary difference: It is difference between carrying amount of an asset/liability as per
statement of financial position and its tax base.
Taxable temporary difference: A temporary difference that will yield amounts that are taxable
in future when determining taxable profit or loss. (CA of Asset>TB of asset) or (CA of liability
<TB of liability)
Deductible temporary difference: A temporary difference that will yield amounts that are
deductible in future when determining taxable profit or loss (CA of asset < TB of asset) or (CA of

Revaluation Model: Revalued amount less subsequent accumulated depreciation less
subsequent impairment loss
In case of revaluation model whole class of asset should be revalued

IFRS 16-LEASES
Lease: A contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying
asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Finance lease: It transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an
underlying asset to lessee.
Operating lease: It does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of an underlying asset to lessee.
Indicators of finance lease:
a) the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease
term;
b) the lessee has the option to purchase the underlying asset at a price that is expected to be
sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date the option becomes exercisable for it to be
reasonably certain, at the inception date, that the option will be exercised;
c) the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset even if title is
not transferred; (major means say 75% of economic life).
d) at the inception date, the present value of the lease payments amounts to at least
substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; and (Substantially means 90% or more)
e) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that only the lessee can use it without
major modifications.
If answer of any of the above points is “yes”, lease will be a Finance lease
ROUA

(a) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,
(b) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives
received;
(c) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
(d) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the
