If there is an opening balance of  Deferred Tax Asset say Rs.130000, and for the current year Deferred Tax Liability to be provided is Rs. 290000/- Can the DTL be set off against the op bal of DTA to give net DTL of 160000, OR SHOULD YOU debit 420000 to P&L and credit 130000 & 290000 to DTA and DTL respectively???? Does this difference in treatment make much difference?
