Deferred tax assets and liabilities should be measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are usually measured using the taxrates and tax laws that have been enacted.

In these circumstances, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using such announced tax rate and tax laws.
