Additional information

In the year ended 30 June 2020, Adeline Ltd had a tax loss of $65 000 that it carried over in the deferred tax asset. In June 2021, the company received an amended assessment for the year ended 30 June 2020 from the ATO, indicating that an amount of $5000 claimed as a deduction has been disallowed. Adeline Ltd has not yet adjusted its accounts to reflect the amendment.

Amounts received from sales, including those on credit terms, are taxed at the time the sale is made. All other general taxation rules apply.

The movement in the equipment account is caused by the sale of the equipment on 1 March 2021 for which a gain on sale of $10 000 was recognised as part of the profit before tax (see above). Adeline Ltd had purchased the equipment on 1 July 2019 (with an estimated useful life of 2 years and no residual value) and for taxation purposes it claimed its full cost as a deduction at 30 June 2020.

The plant is depreciated on a straight?line basis over 10 years for accounting purposes, but over 5 years for taxation purposes. The plant is not expected to have any residual value.

All research and development expenses were paid in cash during the year ended 30 June 2021.

The company tax rate is assumed to be 30% for the year ended 30 June 2020 and 28% for the year ended 30 June 2021. The balances of the deferred tax accounts at 30 June 2020 are still reflecting the 30% tax rate.

Required

1. Prepare the current tax worksheet and the journal entry to recognise current tax at 30 June 2021.

2. Prepare the deferred tax worksheet and journal entries to adjust deferred tax accounts.
