tax purposes when they were incurred.
60 The carrying amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities may change even though there is no change in the amount of the related temporary differences. This can result, for example, from:
(a) a change in tax rates or tax laws;
(b) a reassessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets; or
(c) a change in the expected manner of recovery of an asset.
The resulting deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items previously recognised outside profit or loss (see paragraph 63).

Items recognised outside profit or loss
61 [Deleted]
61A Current tax and deferred tax shall be recognised outside profit or loss if the tax relates to items that are recognised, in the same or a different period, outside profit or loss. Therefore, current tax and deferred tax that relates to items that are recognised, in the same or a different period:
(a) in other comprehensive income, shall be recognised in other comprehensive income (see paragraph 62).
(b) directly in equity, shall be recognised directly in equity (see paragraph 62A).
62 Australian Accounting Standards require or permit particular items to be recognised in other comprehensive income. Examples of such items are:
(a) a change in carrying amount arising from the revaluation of property, plant and equipment (see AASB 116); and
(b) [deleted]
(c) exchange differences arising on the translation of the financial statements of a foreign operation (see AASB 121).
(d) [deleted]
62A Australian Accounting Standards require or permit particular items to be credited or charged directly to equity. Examples of such items are:
(a) an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings resulting from either a change in accounting policy that is applied retrospectively or the correction of an error (see AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors); and
(b) amounts arising on initial recognition of the equity component of a compound financial instrument (see paragraph 23).
63 In exceptional circumstances it may be difficult to determine the amount of current and deferred tax that relates to items recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity). This may be the case, for example, when:
(a) there are graduated rates of income tax and it is impossible to determine the rate at which a specific component of taxable profit (tax loss) has been taxed;
(b) a change in the tax rate or other tax rules affects a deferred tax asset or liability relating (in whole or in part) to an item that was previously recognised outside profit or loss; or
(c) an entity determines that a deferred tax asset should be recognised, or
