Dear All,

Suppose Mr. X gives an asset on finance lease basis to Mr. Y. As per AS 19, Y will claim depreciation. But as per Income Tax ACt Y is not entitled to depreciation but it is X the kegal owner who will claim depreciation. In this situation there is difference between accounting income and taxable income of X to the extent of depreciation. So should this result in deferred tax asset or liability for X & Y also????

Waiting for reply.....
