Red plc, a retailer, reported a profit before tax of £1,750,000 for the year ended 31 March 2021. At that date, an impairment loss of £125,000 was recognised and included in the year-end profit due to the impairment of a property purchased for £780,000 on 1 April 2020. For tax purposes, Red plc was not permitted to recognise the impairment loss of £125,000. For accounting purposes, this property was depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years with no residual value. The depreciation charge had been recognised in the accounting profit for the year ended 31 March 2021. However, the tax allowance for the first year ended 31 March 2021 for this property was 50% on cost, and then an annual tax allowance of 25% on the reducing balance. Assume that the tax rate is 20% and there is no balance of deferred taxation at the beginning of the year. Required: Calculate the deferred tax for the above transaction and show how Red plc should report the above transaction in its financial statements on 31 March 2021 in compliance with IAS 12 Income Taxes.
