Overview
A change in the tax status of an enterprise or its shareholders, e.g. due to an initial public offering or restructuring, does not give rise to increases or decreases in the pre-tax amounts recognized directly in equity. Therefore, SIC-25 Income Taxes - Changes in the Tax Status of an Enterprise or its Shareholders concludes that the current and deferred tax consequences of the change in tax status should be included in net profit or loss for the period.
