Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment of Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) and Deferred Tax Liabilities (DTL) within a company's Profit and Loss (P&L) account. DTAs reduce future taxable income, often arising from differences between tax and accounting rules or carried-over tax losses. Conversely, DTLs represent future tax obligations. The core point is that creating a DTA is treated as income, while a DTL is treated as an expense, both being adjusted against the current year's tax charge.

Deferred tax assets in balance sheet of a company are those assets or say items which uses to reduce the taxable income in the future
it arises when there's is difference in tax rules and accounting rules or there's is carry over of taxlosses

where's as deffered tax liability is opposite to it
it is those items which can increase the amount of income tax owed by a company
it's an obligation to pay tax in future by company
Ok. whether it is ok if entity credits the DTA to P&L account.?
If you will create different tax asset it will be treated as income and when you will create the fat tax liabilities it will be treated as expense.

it will be adjusted with current year tax as a tax expense or income
