Question - Sports Highlights Ltd. is a publisher of a professional sports magazine. The company reported the following on its December 31, 2021 balance sheet:
Income tax receivable $16,250
Deferred tax asset $38,400
The net deferred tax asset relates to two temporary differences: subscription revenue and depreciation/CCA.
The company receives subscription payments in advance on the magazine it publishes, the amounts are taxed immediately when received but for accounting purposes are recorded as revenue as they are earned over the subscription period.
On December 31, 2021, the balance in the unearned revenue account was $247,000 and it was expected to be earned as follows:
2022 $95,000
2023 80,000
2024 72,000
Total $247,000
The company's printing equipment is currently being depreciated on a straight-line basis and the carrying amount (ie: book value) of the equipment on December 31, 2021 was $357,000.
For tax purposes the equipment is depreciated on the declining balance method using a 20% rate and the tax base (undepreciated capital cost) on December 31, 2021, was $238,000. (Declining balance applies the CCA rate to the undepreciated capital cost at the beginning of the year for that years' CCA claim).
The income tax receivable resulted from a taxable loss suffered in 2021 that was fully carried back to previous taxation years-there is no loss carryforward.
The tax rate in effect on December 31, 2021 was 30%.
In 2022, the company reported the following:
Net income before tax $500,000
Tax refund received 16,250
Depreciation expense 59,000
Capital cost allowance the maximum allowed
Rent received from renting out equipment starting in 2023 14,000
New subscriptions received in the year, unearned at year-end 68,000
Fines paid due to contamination of a factory site
