About this lesson

This video shows you the practical impact: when an asset is revalued upwards, the accounting base increases but the tax base remains unchanged, creating a larger timing difference and therefore a higher deferred tax liability. You'll work through a detailed example showing how to adjust the deferred tax liability and where the revaluation adjustment goes in the financial statements — specifically to other comprehensive income rather than profit and loss. This is essential knowledge for FR and SBR papers where revaluation scenarios frequently appear in exam questions.
