How does the treatment of intra-entity gains differ when an affiliated group files a consolidated tax return compared to filing separate tax returns?
Intra-entity Gains
Profits realized from transactions within the same entity, often eliminated in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Separate Tax Returns
Tax filings made by individuals or married couples separately, rather than a joint tax return, often to optimize tax liability.
- Calculate and analyze the impact of transactions within an entity on the consolidated financial reports.
- Identify and quantify the impacts of deferred income taxes during consolidation.

Final Answer :
In a consolidated tax return, the intra-entity gains are removed until the transferred asset leaves the group. No temporary difference is created. If separate returns are filed, tax laws require the profits to be reported in the period of transfer even though not yet recognized by the consolidated entity.
