Impact of recent changes in Tax Law on Goodwill depreciation (USGAAP And Ind AS)
Change in Tax Law in India on Goodwill Amortization – Accounting implications during FY 20-21
-
In Jun 2019, HCL had acquired certain software products from IBM and the resulted Goodwill of $849 M was depreciable on WDV basis at 25% per annum as per the tax laws prevailing at the time of the transaction.
-
As per the Finance Bill enacted in March 21, Goodwill has been taken out of the purview of tax depreciation w.e.f. April 1, 2020, and the written down value of Goodwill as on April 1, 2020, will now be considered as the ‘cost of acquisition’ for computing capital gain at the time of its disposal in the future.
3. Increase in Current tax expense - Due to this change, Current tax expense will increase.
4. Change in Deferred taxes – The change in tax law has triggered a requirement of reassessing the tax basis of Goodwill.
-
a. Under US GAAP, there is no change in tax base and no additional accounting for deferred tax is required.
-
b. Under Ind AS, tax basis of Goodwill has become NIL and HCL now needs to create incremental DTL and record DTE of ~$120mn for this change. The DTL so created will be reversed on either impairment of Goodwill in books or disposal of such Goodwill.
