| danlan | Ok, on financial statement, it's 50% deductible; on tax return report, it's 100% deductible for the first year, then 0% for the second year. |
| mtcfa | On financial statement, the cost is spread over the life of the policy. So if it were 4 years, it would be 25% each year on the financilal statements and 100% for tax. |
| surob | Man, this tax concept is confusing me a lot |
| yyuen000 | Always remember, tax accounting is on cash basis while financial accounting is on accrual basis |
| rfvo | Good Tip Yyuen |
| Fotsta | Thanks yyuen |
| essoh | i am very confused too but trying to reverse the tendency |
| Rosalind | Do we really need to know tax law for the exam? I was a tax consultant in a different jurisdiction before, and I am quite sure that many expenses are not recognized on a cash basis but on accruals basis. It depends on the type of income and expense. Eg. interest income often taxed on accrual (not receipt) basis |
| pigletin | its year end,so 50% is recognized |
I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
