Temporary differences occur whenever there is a difference between the tax base and the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. Permanent differences are differences between the tax and financial reporting of revenue or expense items that will not be reversed in future. Temporary DifferencesThe formation of deferred tax assets or liabilities from temporary differences can only occur if the differences will reverse themselves at some future date and to such an extent that the balance sheet items are expected to create future economic benefits for the company. Temporary differences are divided into: (i) taxable temporary differences, and (ii) deductible temporary differences. Taxable temporary differences are temporary differences that result in a taxable amount in future when determining the taxable profit as the relevant balance sheet item is recovered or settled. Taxable temporary differences result in a deferred tax liability when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its tax base, or when the tax base of liability exceeds its carrying amount.

They result in a deferred tax asset when the tax base of an asset exceeds its carrying amount, or the carrying amount of liability exceeds its tax base.
