Future taxable income will be greater (deferred tax liability)
A timing difference where, in the future, taxable income will be greater than financial (book) income is reported as a deferred tax liability. The amount to be recorded as the deferred tax liability is the temporary difference multiplied by the substantially enacted tax rate
Taxable income is lower in the CY than Book it will reverse itself in the future: future taxable amount = deferred tax liability
Future taxable income will be lower (deferred tax asset)
Taxable income is higher in the CY than book income, this will reverse in the future to taxable income being lower than book
Future deductible amount x future rate = deferred tax asset.
