Company tax return
- the decline in value for tax purposes may not be the same as depreciation applied for accounting, especially for companies which are also eligible small business entities utilising the simplified depreciation rules;
- deductions may be allowed for capital items for which there is no accounting expense;
- no deduction may be allowed for certain accounting expenses (such as doubtful debts).
Reconciliation must be performed to convert accounting profit to taxable income, by adjusting for those items where differences occur. Amounts that are expensed for accounting purposes but which are not allowable as deductions must be added back in calculating taxable income. Conversely, amounts that are allowable as deductions for tax purposes but which are not expensed for accounting purposes will then be deducted in arriving at the taxable income figure.
Similarly, if an amount was included in income for accounting purposes that is not assessable income for tax purposes, it must be deducted, and an amount that is assessed for tax but not recognised for accounting purposes must be included in the calculation of taxable income.
