To determine

Deferred tax asset: The process of paying over and above the required level of tax is termed as deferred tax asset. These taxes are calculated and paid on the future expected income.

Deferred tax liability: Some business activities may create dissimilarity in the amount recorded in the books and the taxable income. These differences create deferred tax liability. For example, Mr.J is a car dealer who sold a car on installment. In actual the sale happened in the current year but the benefits are receivable in the future years. This creates a difference in the books of accounts and the taxable account.
