Solution

The tax effect of eliminating the unrealised profit from an intragroup sale of inventories and adjusting the value of the inventories on hand is recognised as an increase in deferred tax liability.

Here's why:

  1. Unrealised profit from an intragroup sale of inventories is a temporary difference that will reverse in the future when the inventories are sold to outside parties.

  2. When the unrealised profit is eliminated, the carrying amount of the inventories on hand is reduced. This reduces the taxable profit in the future when the inventories are sold, leading to a decrease in future tax payments.

  3. According to the accounting principle for income taxes, a deferred tax liability is recognised for temporary differences that will result in taxable amounts in the future.

  4. Therefore, the elimination of the unrealised profit and the adjustment of the value of the inventories on hand increase the deferred tax liability.
