Introduction

Transitioning from IFRS to FRS 102 will be rare, although two examples of this scenario are provided below:

  1. it is possible that a company currently listed on a UK / EU regulated stock exchange or the UK's Alternative Investment Market (AIM) might delist and may not need to produce IFRS financial statements in future

  2. a subsidiary currently producing IFRS financial statements as directed by its parent may be sold by the parent company to shareholders or another group that is not using IFRS whereby it may need to transition to FRS 102

Rate of tax

The rate of tax used for any deferred tax calculations on transition to FRS 102 is the rate expected to apply when the timing difference reverses, based on the rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the relevant year. See the FRS 102 ― current and deferred tax guidance note for a definition of when a rate is substantively enacted.
