Tax Timing Differences [R0310]

The Tax Timing Differences report [R0310] consists of 2 reports showing the temporary timing difference and permanent difference between tax and accounting books. Differences are caused by a difference in the classification of a lease for tax and accounting books. For example, a lease could be considered an operating lease for tax purposes and a direct finance lease for accounting purposes. Temporary timing differences eventually wash out to zero. Permanent differences arise because a portion of the asset's cost is disallowed as part of the tax basis (e.g., half of the ITC taken when ITC is retained in full by the lessor). Therefore, the tax and accounting books have different starting points (tax basis reduction vs. full cost).

The following reports are produced:

• Tax Timing Differences Finance report [R0310A]
  This report shows the temporary timing difference and permanent difference between tax and book accounting for leases which are recorded as finance leases (loans) for book purposes and operating (true) leases for tax purposes. Only those leases with a non-operating lease type and consisting of assets with a tax reporting switch of yes are reported. If not all the assets under a lease fit the selection criteria, the asset's percentage of schedule is used to determine what portion of lease level fields are attributed to this lease.
  
  
• The Tax Timing Differences Operating report [R0310B]
  This report shows the temporary timing difference and permanent difference between tax and book accounting for leases which are recorded as operating leases for both book and tax purposes. Timing differences, in this case, are caused by a difference in the book and tax depreciation methods of a lease. Only leases with an operating lease type and consisting of assets with a tax reporting switch of yes and a tax type of true lease are reported. If not all the assets under a lease fit the selection criteria, the asset's percentage of schedule is used to determine what portion of lease level fields are attributed to this lease.

The report is organized by Portfolio, Company, Region, Office. The report may be accessed through the Controllers Tax report menu [R03] and may be selected interactively for:

• All leases
• A portfolio
• A company
• A region
• An office
