โ Accountant
Seed: Temporary differences table with TaxBase, CarryingAmount, TaxRate; DeferredTax = (CarryingAmount - TaxBase) * TaxRateProfessional Guide
This sheet estimates current and deferred tax provisions by calculating temporary differences between book and tax bases for assets and liabilities. It computes deferred tax assets/liabilities, recognizes valuation allowances when recoverability is uncertain, and aggregates to a provision for income tax. Scenarios for rate changes, jurisdictional splits, and uncertain tax positions (UTPs) are supported. The workbook prepares reconciliations from statutory to effective tax rates and generates disclosure-ready schedules for notes. Maintain a clear audit trail linking adjustments to source schedules and maintain version controls for assumptions during tax audits.
