All listed companies and specific financial institutions are obliged to make the financial statements and make public announcements by applying the International Financial Reporting Standards("IFRS") from 2011. Adoption of IFRS is expected to affect the Korean tax law structure that calculates income for the current year on the Corporate Income Tax from the current net profit in the financial accounting. This study was focused on tangible assets among improvement schemes of tax accounting by adoption of IFRS. The difference from the current accounting standards by adoption of IFRS and the effects on the Corporate Tax Act were analyzed and then the problems and solutions were presented. For it, by analyzing the application state of IFRS in relation to the evaluation model and depreciation of Korean companies that early adopted the IFRS, the impacts on the tax law were analyzed and the improvements were suggested. From a theoretical perspective, the tax law's taxation system was considered and the problems of positive system which is the present taxation system were mentioned. As solutions to them, there were the preparation of independent tax financial statements, separation of financial accounting and corporate income tax and a conversion from adjustment by reflecting on the books to adjustment on tax reconciliation. Each scheme's advantages and disadvantages were analyzed. Also, through comparing K-IFRS and K-GAAP for the recognition on the tangible assets, measurement as of recognition, measurement after recognition, and elimination in order, the differences between them were identified and the impacts on corporate income tax. Then, the improvement directions of corporate income tax were discussed. As the major improvements, with respect to the difference on the difference in the recognition and elimination of substitute assets, the adoption of deemed depreciation was suggested. In relation to the measurement after recognition, it was proved that keeping the cost model on corporate income tax through the early-adopting company's case study is adequate. The study suggested the scheme that introduces the depreciation by component for the depreciation method and accepts only equipment and machinery by utilizing the tax-incentive policies that support the early collection of invested money in relation to the fixed rate method. It also presented the scheme that reflects the actual useful years through periodic survey of economic factors and segments the very comprehensively-classified present useful years table of corporate income tax. The study proposed the scheme of accepting or rejecting the depreciation expense by group unit or useful year, and the scheme of separation the accounting and taxation in the depreciation system from the long term perspective.
