Earnings Havoc Unleashed By Tax Act

Earnings Havoc Unleashed By Tax Act

One of the biggest changes was about how changes in “enacted rate” are accounted for.  A significant part of the computation of the provision for income taxes concerns deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Very simply if you write something off or recognize income at a different point in time in figuring your reported earnings than you do in figuring your taxable income,  you will end up setting up an asset or liability to recognize tax benefits that you will be taking later or took sooner – deferred tax assets (DTA) or deferred tax liablities (DTL).  As timing difference reverse DTA are amortized making for higher income tax expense in later years compared to what is on the return and DTL are relieved making for lower income tax expense.
