Deferred tax liabilities

Deferred tax liabilities. That sounds like a complicated accounting concept, but it turns out to be much easier to understand than you might think. Deferred tax liabilities are the accounting answer to a question asked by tax legislators in governments around the world: “Would you like to pay your corporate income taxes much much much later?”. Why would governments provide this incentive to corporations? The main reason is that capital investments create jobs! Let’s explore how that leads to #deferredtax liabilities on a company’s balance sheet.
