Intraperiod tax allocation means that the income tax associated with certain irregular items, specifically Discontinue Operations (both the gain or loss on operations before discontinuance and separately, the gain or loss on sale of the Operation's assets) and Extraordinary Items (gain or loss on unusual and infrequent events) is allocated to those items on the IS, which are shown Net of Tax. These irregular items are shown last on the IS, above NI, but below the Income Tax Expense line, which represents the tax on all other items on the IS, comprising the bulk of the IS known as Income from Continuing Operations.
The reason for separating Income from Continuing Operations (with its Income Tax Expense Line) from Irregular Items (with each separate item shown net of tax) is that FS readers will know which types of revenues and expenses are probable on future IS's and which types are not probable.
