The following information relates to the year ended 30 June 2018. Revenue from sales, including those on credit terms, is taxable when the sales are made. Administration and salary expenses are tax deductible when they are incurred. This also applies to wages and salary expenses. The following items that are included in the financial statements of Hamish Ltd are treated differently for accounting and tax purposes:
At year end, accounts receivable owed to Galaxy Ltd was $80,000 net after the allowance for doubtful debts. Since Galaxy Ltd expects that some of its debtors may be doubtful, it creates an allowance for doubtful debts. The opening balance (on 1 July 2017) of the allowance for doubtful debts was $5,000. The doubtful debts expense is not tax deductible until the debtor is actually written off as bad.
The insurance expense amounts to $4,500 per month. During the year $60,000 was actually paid for insurance and on 30 June 2017 $13,500 was prepaid for the 2017 financial year. Insurance expense is tax deductible when it is paid.
Interest amounting to $12,000 was received during the year and an additional $6,000 was accrued to account for the total interest earned of $18,000 for the year. Interest is taxable when it is received.
The plant was acquired on 1 July 2016 at a cost of $500,000. The plant has an economic life of 5 years with a residual value of $50,000. The straight line method of depreciation is used to depreciate the plant for accounting purposes. For taxation purposes, the straight line method over 4 years is used to calculate the depreciation, but only the cost of the plant is depreciable (ignore the residual for tax purposes).
Galaxy Ltd paid an amount of $10,000 during the year in respect of long service leave. In addition an amount of $25,000 had been accrued for accounting purposes during the year in respect of long service leave. Tax deductions for this item are available only when the amount is paid. At 30 June 2017 there was no accrual for long service leave.
During the year $45,000 was received with respect to rent revenue, of which $36,000 relates to the current year. This is the first year that Galaxy Ltd received any rent. Rent received is taxable when it is received.
Warrantee expenses incurred amount to $45,000, of which $15,000 has been paid by year end. Warrantee expenses are only tax deductible if they have been paid. At 30 June 2017 there was no accrual for warrantee expenses.
During the year the goodwill with an opening balance of $100,000 was impaired by $20,000. Goodwill impairment is not a deductible expense for tax purposes.
At the beginning of the year (i.e., at the 1st of July 2017), total taxable temporary differences amounted to $48,500 and total deductible temporary differences amounted to $5,000.
The tax rate was always 33% but changed to 28% during the current year.
