Explanation:
THE IDEA BEHIND reputee and it's translation is INDEFINITELY OR INDEFINITE> It cant just be ignored!


Il existe un cas particulier : celui des amortissements réputés différés

La question qui s'est posée était de savoir s'il fallait comptabiliser systématiquement des impôts différés actifs en cas d'amortissements réputés différés lorsqu'il est avéré que la société dispose d'une capacité bénéficiaire mais qu'elle n'est pas en mesure de déterminer à quelle échéance elle pourra récupérer ces impôts différés actifs ?

En fait, les amortissements réputés différés sont des amortissements qui ont été effectivement comptabilisés au cours d'un exercice dont le résultat fiscal est déficitaire et que l'entreprise décide d'isoler du déficit ordinaire pour pouvoir les reporter, sans limitation de durée, sur les exercices suivants.

Selon le Comité d'urgence il existe une similitude entre la reconnaissance d'impôts différés actifs sur les amortissements réputés différés et les déficits ordinaires.

· Cependant , par rapport aux déficits ordinaires, reportables pendant cinq ans, le caractère d'indéfiniment reportable [IDEA OF INDEFINITELY] des amortissements réputés différés accroît les possibilités pour l'entreprise de les récupérer un jour dès lors qu'elle se situe en continuité d'exploitation. Toutefois, la prise en compte de bénéfices au-delà des cinq ans est, par nature, plus aléatoire et incertaine.

· Ainsi, pour le Comité d'urgence, il ne peut y avoir de reconnaissance systématique d'impôts différés actifs en cas d'amortissements réputés différés. Comme pour les déficits ordinaires, cette reconnaissance doit être effectuée dans chaque situation considérée au regard des dispositions du paragraphe 312 des règlements précités .

deferred income tax charges

Explanation:
The following is a message I received on the Financial Translators list, in response to a query I posted there concerning your term. Please give any thanks the person who replied (I will be glad to forward her e-mail address to you):

Subject: Re: [FTRAN] amortissements réputés différés
From: Jessica Dunn

From a cursory reading of the explanations, it appears the discussion refers to deferred income tax charge (which is recorded as an asset in the current year).
Do you have Barron's accounting dictionary? --"asset resulting when taxable income exceeds book income as a result of a temporary difference in recognition of income and expense items..... A deferred income tax charge results in a future deductible amount (for tax purposes) which can only be recognized as an asset in the current year if the entity is certain to have
taxable income in the future. Thus, a deferred tax assets can only be booked for the amount of the certain future deductibility of the item for tax purposes.... A deferred income tax charge can also be recognized for the tax benefit of the deductible amounts realizable by carrying back a loss from future years to reduce taxes paid in the current year or a prior year."
