Deferred Taxes Overview
- Differences can arise from (among others):
- Depreciation
- Warranty treatments
- Long-term construction
- Installment sales
- If your tax expense was > tax payable you had a deferred tax liability (then called deferred tax credit) (The balancing figure was the deferred tax account.)
- If your tax expense was < tax payable you had a deferred tax asset (then called deferred tax debit) (Again the balancing figure was the deferred tax account.)
