CWBFG Annual Report 2023

19. INCOME TAXES We follow the deferred method of accounting for income taxes whereby current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the cumulative amount of tax applicable to temporary differences between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, and their values for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates anticipated to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are anticipated to be recovered or settled. Changes in deferred taxes related to a change in tax rates are recognized in income in the period of the tax rate change. All deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized in the normal course of operations.

The provision for income taxes consists of the following:
