poomie83 1. NPAT is the profit after provision for tax
2. wouldn't the taxable income lead to tax expense?
johntan1979 Nope. Get your terms right.

Accounting profit --- tax expense
Taxable income --- tax payable
johntan1979 Tax expense = Taxes payable + DTL

Taxable income = Pretax income + Temporary differences creating DTA - Temporary differences creating DTL

Taxable income = Pretax income - Accounting depreciation - Tax depreciation
Omosewa Taxable income= Pretax income + Accounting depreciation - Tax depreciation
