Understanding Deductible Temporary Differences in Accounting: How Accrued Expenses Affect Your Taxes
Which of the following represents deductible temporary difference(s)? A. Research expenditure that was accrued in the amount of 50, but will be tax deductible on a cash basis. B. Vehicle revalued for tax purposes but not for accounting purposes, with tax base lower than its carrying value by 250. C. Accounts receivable with carrying amount of 80 when their collection will have no tax consequences.

A deductible temporary difference arises when the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the financial statements is higher than its tax base, which will result in a future tax deduction.

A. This situation represents a deductible temporary difference because the expense has been recognized for accounting purposes but will only be deductible for tax purposes when the cash is actually paid, creating a difference in the timing of the expense.

B. This is a taxable temporary difference, as the tax base is lower than the carrying amount for tax purposes.

C. This is not a temporary difference, as there is no difference between the carrying amount for financial reporting and tax purposes; the lack of tax consequences upon collection means there's no tax benefit to be realized in the future.

Therefore, the correct answer is: A. Research expenditure that was accrued in the amount of 50, but will be tax deductible on a cash basis.
