It focus, mainly, the paragraph nº 30 of the SFAS 109 Accounting for Income Tax issued by the FASB which highlights the accounting treatment needs into the financial statements for a deferred income tax resultant from a business combination process. From the US-GAAP definitions, in the case of (a) business combination and (b) accounting for income tax, it has concluded, respectively that: (a) there are two (2) methods of evaluation; the pooling of interest and the purchase methods. The pooling of interest method was used in order to recognize the accounting effects according to the APB nº 17, however the FAS 141 superseed that role and does not allow its utlilization and (b) the Pronuncement nº 109 Accounting for Income Tax issued by the FASB orients in a generic and inadequate way the accounting procedure in order to recognize the deferred income tax generated in a particular business combination process for a certain company. This study shows a real case, where it verifies the business combination process effect as well as the deferred income tax impact by following the US guidance of an american subsidary company stablished in Brazil
