kalps When enacted tax rate changes there is a change in the deferred tas asset or liability and so it does affect current yea income
teddajr When enacted tax rate changes, it is a change in estimate and not in accounting principle... Why?
thekapila Well its just a change in estimate becouse the accounting principle is not change. for example u still use same depriciation method or u still use matching principle to match revenue n expense its just the rates r changed so do the calculations.
sapu It should be current year's income or current year's taxable income?
