Total timing differences

Corporation Tax payable: £1,000,000 at 28% Deferred Tax charge: £600,000 at 28%

280,000 168,000 _______ 448,000

168,000

Total tax charge

1.7 The deferred tax charge is £600,000 at 28%, which is £168,000. In order to understand this charge against profits, we need to understand its constituent parts:

1.7.1 the depreciation is £392,000 and the capital allowances are £362,000. The capital allowances and depreciation on plant, equipment vehicles, furniture, etc., are equal over the life of the asset: however, the charges in the accounts for this capital expenditure is at a different rate from that at which capital allowances are available. There is therefore a mismatch between the accounts and the tax treatment.
