Deferred tax liability for construction contracts

Tax cut

Well-intended desires to instill fairness in the tax system have added to tax system's complexity. The size and composition of the DTL can provide enough ammunition to ask a few questions of its tax advisor. This article will focus on tax techniques that create these sought-after taxable temporary differences related to construction contracts.

Taxable temporary differences give rise to deferred tax liabilities for financial reporting. So deferred tax liabilities that come due are replaced with new additions to the DTL. When reading financial statements, pay close attention to the amount and disclosure of deferred income taxes. If it’s caused by a sizable net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward, then it probably makes sense.

This results in a net deferred income tax liability, which is indicative that income tax is deferred to later years. This is a common deferral triggered by accelerated and bonus depreciation permitted under the tax code.

The Morning After: 'Sonic the Hedgehog' got rescheduled

Employees and partners are already testing its streaming capabilities. Every Xbox One title will be playable on Project xCloud When Project xCloud debuts, it'll be capable of streaming any of the system's games (including backward compatible ones) out of the gate without developers needing to make any changes. Microsoft also says when a developer updates an Xbox One game, those changes will automatically apply to Project xCloud versions. However, changes to the developer's kit let a game know when it's being played from the cloud to adjust for different types of displays or run multiplayer games on a single server. The teeth, the legs, the teeth, the eyes, the teeth. 'Sonic the Hedgehog' movie delayed to fix nightmare-inducing design Following a statement by director Jeff Fowler that changes are "going to happen," Paramount pushed back the release date three months to give the filmmakers "a little more time to make Sonic just right."

The Large Magellanic Cloud comes alive in a 240 megapixel image

Ciel Austral is a team of five very enthusiastic amateur French astronomers, Jean Claude Canonne, Philippe Bernhard, Didier Chaplain, Nicolas Outters, and Laurent Bourgon, who own and operate their own telescope in northern Chile. The 14400×14200 image was stitched together from nearly 4,000 separate images that required 1,060 hours (6.3 weeks) of exposures shot from July 2017 to January 2019. It took two computers eight days to stitch together the photos, and a further two months to process the 620 gigabytes of data. If you could warp yourself to the Magellanic Cloud, it wouldn't look like the dreamy, painterly image pictured above. Much of the image is made up of false colors that show the different elements present in the image. Different colors represent hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen III, emphasizing the cloud-like high-density gas nebulae in a way that a standard visible light image can't. The image shows the birth and death of stars and the aftermath, including super...
