Give a brief account on deferred tax liability.

A deferred tax liability for any taxes that are owed but won't be paid until a later date is shown on a company's balance sheet. The discrepancy in time between when the tax was accrued and when it is required to be paid has caused the liability to be delayed. It might, for instance, show a taxable transaction, like an installment sale, that occurred on a specific day but the taxes aren't payable until a later time. The future tax payment that a firm is required to make is represented by the deferred tax liability on its balance sheet. The difference between the company's taxable income and accounting earnings before taxes is multiplied by the anticipated tax rate for the business.
