Help! Tax Depreciation Resulting in Negative EBT - Impact on 3 Financial Statements
Hey guys,
If you depreciate 100% of your investment in an asset upfront for tax purposes (assume straight-line depreciation for financial tax), which results in negative taxable EBT in Year 1 (with the subsequent NOL creation), would you create a DTA to account for that NOL carryforward, or a DTL because you are paying less taxes than you should in Year 1? Creating a DTA in Year 1 would imply a cash outflow in Cash Flow from Operations, which seems counterintuitive.
What I am thinkig is: Year 1 - a DTA is created to account for the NOLs of the negative taxable EBT, and a DTL is created to account for the taxes not paid in Year 1. Then the NOL balance is used to offset book taxes from Year 2 onwards. Does this make sense?
Thanks!
