Tax paid is calculated as per taxation provisions applicable to a specific entity.. while Accounting income is calculated according to AS issued... Thus There may be a difference in taxable and accounting income... In order to show true and fair view in financial Statements a concept known as Deffered Tax Assets/ Liabilties as evolved..
In simple language, If u are paying higher tax today due to a method in tax laws which is computing higher income today compared with future, then a part of tax paid today shall not be charged to P&L and will be treated as Deffered Tax Asset untill the effect of that different method of tax method is nullified...
