At December 31, 2013, Iota Inc. had a deferred tax asset of $6,600 related to its warranty provision on that date of $20,000 and had a deferred income tax liability of $49,500 related to the difference between the carrying value of its amortizable capital assets of $800,000 and its undepreciated capital cost for income tax purposes of $650,000.
Warranty costs are deductible for income tax purposes only when paid. Only 50% of the cost of meals and entertainment may be deducted in arriving at taxable income.
The company reported taxable income during the years 2010 to 2013 of $50,000 each year and paid tax at 33% in each of those years. Tax rates are not known until the year to which they apply.
