On Year 2 the company should pay $240.000 as tax income.

Explanation:

The net deferred tax asset works to the reduction of future taxes, not apply to the current year, the value generated in the current year by this concept are accounts set aside for future years.

On Year 2, the company must paid taxes over the total income before taxes reported and use the deferred taxes in future Incomes.
