The tax benefit on a company's asset is £180,000 and the useful life on that asset is five years. The company creates a deferred tax provision to spread this benefit over the asset's useful life.

What entry is needed to reduce this deferred tax provision in the company's year two accounts?

AB acquired 10% of the equity share capital of XY on 1 January 20X7 for $180,000 when the fair value of XY's net assets was $190,000.  On 1 January 20X9 AB purchased a further 50% of the equity share capital for $550,000 when the fair value of XY's net assets was $820,000.
