Blossom Tar and Gravel Ltd. operates a road construction business. In its first year of operations, the company won a contract to build
a road for the municipality of Cochrane West. It is estimated that the project will be completed over a three-year period starting in
June 2023. Blossom uses the percentage-of-completion method of recognizing revenue on its long-term construction contracts. For
tax purposes, and in order to postpone the tax on such revenue for as long as possible, Blossom uses the completed-contract method
allowed by the CRA. For the second year of operations, Blossom made progress on the construction of the road for the municipality.
The account balances at December 31,2024, for the construction project and the accounting and tax balances of accounts related to
the equipment used for construction follow. (The balances at December 31,2023, are also listed.)
Blossom's tax rate was 25% in 2023 and 2024. The enacted tax rate for 2025 and subsequent years was reduced to 20% on
September 15,2024. Income before income tax for the year ended December 31,2023, was $195,100 and for December 31,2024,
was $120,200. Blossom reports under IFRS.
