A company has 200M in Goodwill and 50M in finite-lived intangibles with a 12.5M DTL.
If the Goodwill is impaired by 50M, what is the impact on the DTL?
- The DTL is always written off fully as a matter of pure accounting conservatism here.
- The DTL increases because the impairment widens the mismatch between book basis and tax basis.
- The DTL is reduced by exactly 25% of the $50M impairment amount, or $12.5M, using the 25% tax rate.
- There is no impact on the DTL because Goodwill is not associated with the DTL calculation.
