Question:

Boyas Industries reported a deferred tax liability of $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, related to a temporary difference of $20 million. The tax rate was 25%. The temporary difference is expected to reverse in 2025, at which time the deferred tax liability will become payable. There are no other temporary differences in 2023–2025. Assume a new tax law is enacted in 2024 that causes the tax rate to change from 25% to 20% beginning in 2025. (The rate remains 25% for 2024 taxes.) Taxable income in 2024 is $60 million.

3. Is Boyas required to provide a disclosure note to report the change?
