Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Deferred Income Tax Expense

Deferred Income Tax Expense refers to the tax liability or asset that arises due to temporary differences between the accounting income and taxable income. These differences result in deferred income taxes, which are recognized in the financial statements to reflect future tax obligations or benefits. This accounting treatment ensures that tax expenses are matched with the revenues they relate to, adhering to the accrual accounting principle.
