Discussion:
The balance at 1st December 2021: Deferred tax liability = 981,383 *27.5/30 =899,601 ($) approximately
So the change in deferred tax liability = 981,383 - 899,601 = 81,782 ($)
The balance at 1st December 2021: Deferred tax asset = 480,600 *27.5/30 = 440,550 ($)
So the change in deferred tax asset = 480,600 - 440,550 = 40,050 ($)
