To determine

Deferred tax asset: The process of paying over and above the required level of tax is termed deferred tax asset. These taxes are calculated and paid on the future expected income. In case the future expected inflow of cash reduces, the company can claim the excess tax paid in the form of tax relief or refund.

Temporary differences: The difference between the actual taxable liability and the books of records maintained by the individual, firm, or an entity is termed temporary difference. The difference is created due to the tenure of transactions or actual performance of transactions, flow of funds into the business, or changes in the value of the asset or liability due to business situations. These differences are adjustable in future when the appropriate time for the transaction arises.
