deferred tax liability or a deferred tax asset on account of timing differences between an allowance for tax purposes and its debit in company’s P&L account.
To illustrate, if tax depreciation is higher than the book depreciation, then the tax impact of the difference between the two needs to be reflected in those years by debiting the P&L account and crediting the ‘deferred tax liability’ account. The same gets reversed in the subsequent years when the tax depreciation is lower than the book depreciation by accounting for such difference as a deferred tax asset
in reverse case you can call it as deferred tax liability
