Madar explanation

What does the Article mean in plain language?

Where the income-computation carrying value differs from the accounting value, deferred tax follows the basis prescribed by the Regulations. The Article covers stock compensation, fair-value elections, transfer pricing, acquisitions and asset transfers. Do not use a deferred-tax amount based on an old accounting basis after the income calculation has adopted another required basis. Reconcile asset and liability values between the income and deferred-tax schedules and document each difference.

Who should read this?

Financial reporting, tax, transfer-pricing and consolidation teams.

Practical action

Reconcile tax basis, carrying value and elected treatment for each asset or liability.

Common mistake to avoid

Changing the income basis while leaving deferred tax on an inconsistent basis.

Limits of the commentary

Before relying on the result

Is this Article enough on its own?

Usually not. Read it with the connected Law Article, definitions, any effective election and current NBR guidance, especially for an amount or deadline.

Does NBR guidance replace the Regulations?

No. Guidance explains application and supports procedures and examples, but current legislation and decisions prevail in case of inconsistency.
