COMPLEX GROUPS

Vertical Groups - Example

Revaluation not recorded in the records of the subsidiary

• Land belonging to Centre Ltd was revalued at acquisition; however,

the revaluation was not recorded in the books of Centre Ltd. An
adjustment is required for consolidation purposes to recognise the
revalued assets of the subsidiary (the revaluation is included in the
analysis). A pro forma journal entry has to be passed on

consolidation to bring the revaluation into account (refer J1).

Deferred tax on revaluation

• If land is revalued, deferred tax should be provided for on the total
surplus above original cost at 22,4% (80% x 28%), irrespective of
whether or not there is any intention to dispose of the land, as the

carrying amount of the land (a non-depreciable asset) can only be
recovered by means of sale.
