This study examines the effects of the adoption of International Accounting Standards No. 12, Income Taxes (IAS No.12) on the incremental information about future profitability for firms reporting losses compared to Korean Generally Accepted Accounting No.16, Accounting for Income Taxes (K-GAAP No.16). Specifically, this paper shows that whether the IAS No.12 affects the information of deferred tax assets (DTAs) regarding loss persistence which implies the ability to predict earnings sustainability. Using a sample of 2,905 observations from Korean listed firms that reported a loss between 2007 and 2014, we divide loss firm-years into categories of ‘good news’ (GN) or ‘bad news’ (BN) based on whether management appears to report an increase in DTAs. We find that our tax categories have incremental information about the probability of loss reversal under K-GAAP No. 16, but under IAS No.12 the incremental effects of a deferred tax balance disappear. Also, we find that investors underweight the informativeness of DTAs under K-GAAP, and after the adoption of IAS No.12, investors cannot obtain buy-and-hold returns by buying GN firm-years and selling BN firms-years. However, this is not because investors understand the information of DTAs, but because the informativeness of DTAs deteriorates after the relaxation in the recognition threshold of DTAs.

De verwerking van winstbelasting in de (bedrijfseconomische, ook wel genoemd: vennootschappelijke of commerciële) jaarrekening is een technisch lastig en gecompliceerd vraagstuk. Belangrijk probleempunt bij deze verwerking is de waardering van de door de Raad voor de Jaarverslaggeving (RJ) genoemde balanspost Latente belastingvorderingen. De International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) noemt deze balanspost Deferred tax assets. Wij willen in dit artikel stilstaan bij de waardering van deze post door na te gaan in hoeverre deze latente belastingvorderingen met zekerheid (dat wil zeggen zonder dat toekomstige fiscale winst nodig is) zullen worden verrekend. Ons inziens komen in de huidige RJ- en IASB-voorschriften de situaties, waarin latente belastingvorderingen met zekerheid zullen worden verrekend, in onvoldoende mate tot uiting. De voorschriften van de RJ en de IASB zijn ons inziens te veel gebaseerd op situaties van onzekerheid. Voor zover de voorschriften van de RJ en de IASB betrekking hebben op zekere situaties, dekken de voorschriften ons inziens de lading niet volledig, met als gevolg dat zij voor de praktijk van de jaarverslaggeving onvoldoende houvast bieden voor de waardering van latente belastingvorderingen. Wij bepleiten dan ook de geldende RJ- en IASB-voorschriften ter zake aan te passen.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of accounting policy choices under International Accounting Standards (IASs) of listed firms in South Asia. Design/methodology/approach We selected three IASs-based accounting policy choices from 369 listed companies in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh for the financial year 2007-2008. Findings Our results show that firm size, investment opportunity set, leverage and ownership by the general public are significant determinants of accounting policy choice in South Asian countries. However, we do not find a significant relationship between firms’ accounting policy choices and profitability, assets-in-place and taxes. Practical implications Our results suggest that as some flexibility exists in IASB’s accounting standards, this may allow managers to use income-increasing/decreasing methods. There is scope for regulators and standards setters to reduce the alternative methods which are likely improve firms’ reporting quality. Originality/value Our study contributes to the understanding as to what determines managers’ choice of a particular accounting method allowed in IAS.

In de Project Update on Income Taxes stelt de International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) voor om de verwachtingswaarde verplicht te stellen voor de waardering van onzekere winstbelastingposities in de jaarrekening. Voor de berekening daarvan is het nodig in te schatten wat de waarschijnlijkheid is van de mogelijke uitkomsten van de onzekere posities. Dit artikel beschrijft een modelleertechniek met behulp van beslissingstabellen, die een effectieve, effi ciënte en transparante waarschijnlijkheidsschatting voor fi scale onzekerheden mogelijk maakt.
