Temporary Difference
Temporary difference refers to the difference of one income recognized by the tax rules and accounting rules of a company in different periods. Consequently, the difference between the amount of assets and liabilities reported in the financial reports and the amount of assets and liabilities as per the company’s tax records, is known as temporary difference.
Multiple Temporary Difference
It is very unlikely to have a single temporary difference in any company. In that case, the same concept of temporary difference will be applicable for multiple temporary difference. In case of multiple temporary difference, we have to categorize all temporary difference into future taxable amount and future deductible amounts. The total amount of future taxable amounts multiplied by future tax rate will generate deferred tax liability and total amount of future deductible amount multiplied by future tax rate will generate deferred tax asset.
To explain: The described differences
Explanation of Solution
Among the five described differences, only the life insurance premium expense is a permanent difference each year as it has been stated in the income statement and is not tax deductible in any year; whereas all other described differences are temporary differences which can be reversed.

Calculate the value of income tax expenses
- Income Tax Expense is an expense account and it decreases the value of shareholders’ equity account. So, debit Income Tax Expense account with $52 million.
- Deferred tax asset is an asset and is increased by 8 million. Therefore, debit deferred tax asset account with $8 million.
- Deferred tax liability is a liability and is increased by $12 million. Therefore, credit deferred tax liability account with $12 million.
- Income Tax Payable is a liability account has increased because the taxable income has increased. So, credit Income Tax Payable account with $48 million.

To explain: How 2018 deferred tax amounts to be classified and shown in the 2018 balance sheet.
Explanation of Solution
In the balance sheet all deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and valuation allowances are treated as non-current items. If the deferred tax accounts belong to the same tax jurisdictions then, they are netted against each other and shown as a single number (after the adjustments) in the balance sheet. If deferred tax liability amount is more than deferred tax asset, then it will report as a liability. Similarly, it will report as an asset when deferred tax asset is more than deferred tax liability.
Here the deferred tax amounts are:
Deferred tax asset = $14 million
Deferred tax liability = $12 million
So, the net non-current deferred tax asset is $2 million
