On 1 January 2017 it acquired an item of plant and machinery for Tk.100,000. It is being depreciated over 10 years on a straight-line basis. For tax purposes there is an allowance of 20% per annum on a reducing balance basis. There are two rates of tax: 15% on trading profits and 25% on gains on disposals. What deferred tax balance should Waloneke recognise at 31 December 2017, according to IAS12 Income taxes?
