TERMS TO BE KNOWN:
CURRENT TAX:  It is the amount of income tax determined to be payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable income (tax loss) for a period.
DEFFERED TAX:  It is the tax effect of timing differences.
TIMING DIFFERENCES: The differences between taxable income and accounting income for a period that originates in one period and is capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods.
PERMANENT DIFFERENCES: are the differences between taxable income and accounting income for a period that originate in one period and do not reverse subsequently
ACCOUNTING INCOME  (LOSS): It  is the net profit or loss for a period, as reported in the statement of profit and loss, before deducting income tax expense or adding income tax saving.
TAXABLE INCOME (TAX LOSS): It is the amount of the income (loss) for a period, determined in accordance with the tax laws, based upon which income tax payable (recoverable) is determined.

1.       AS PER AS-22 THE DEFFERED TAX ASSET/LIABILITY IS CREATED ONLY WHEN THERE EXISTS ANY TIMING DIFFERENCE.
2.       TIMING DIFFERENCE MEANS DIFFERENCE IN ACCOUNTING INCOME AND TAXABLE INCOME.

5.       EVEN IF A COMPANY PAYS TAX USING 115 JB PROVISIONS THEN ALSO FOR CALCULATING DEFFERED TAX LIABILITY/ASSET THE TAX RATE IS REGULAR INCOME TAX RATE (AT PRESENT @ 30%) BUT NOT TAX RATE U/s 115 JB OF INCOME TAX ACT.
