⟩ Do you know what is a deferred tax liability and what is its purpose?

A deferred tax liability is just the opposite of a deferred tax asset. The deferred tax liability occurs when a tax expense reported on the income statement is not paid to the IRS during the same period it is recognized--it's paid at a future date. Deferred tax liabilities can result when there are differences in depreciation expense between book reporting (GAAP) and IRS reporting which lead to differences income as reflected on a companies income statement versus what's reported to the IRS--and which results in lower taxes payable to the IRS (in the short run).
