| examinee | It should be false. What about temporary difference? |
| stefdunk | no, a difference between accounting income and taxable income is permanent. a temporary difference has to do with timing |
| LondonBoy | I'm not sure that is the best way to look at it. I think you should arrive at the answer by thinking that there is a timing differences however as there are no tax consequences the tax difference will not reverse and therefore it is a permanent difference and not a temporary difference. |
| mordja | Yep, agree with LondonBoy |
| vikram59 | london boy is right..the key word here is without tax consequences! |
| boddunah | key word "without tax consequences" |
| johntan1979 | Without tax consequence = No effect from taxes e.g. donation, municipal bond interest |
I am using your study notes and I know of at least 5 other friends of mine who used it and passed the exam last Dec. Keep up your great work!
