In the example, why is it that adding the Depreciation Timing Difference to the Accounting Taxable Profit gives the Taxable Profit before any loss adjustments?
Depreciation is partly a timing difference and partly a permanent difference. Only the timing difference is allowed for calculating the Taxable Profit
Accounting Taxable Profit is Net Profit Before Tax adjusted for permanent differences. Accounting depreciation is not such an adjustment, so it remains. Adding the Depreciation Timing Difference essentially adds back accounting depreciation and deducts tax depreciation, i.e. this calculates Taxable Profit
Depreciation has been double-counted in the Accounting Taxable Profit and therefore needs to be added back once (so that the deduction is counted once instead of twice in the Taxable Profit)
