Gallo Light began operations in 2021. The company sometimes sells used warehouses on an installment basis. In those cases, Gallo Light reports income in its income statement in the year of the sale. In its income tax return, though, Gallo Light reports installment income by the installment method. Installment income in 2021 was $570,000, which Gallo Light expects to collect equally over the next three years. The tax rate is 25%, but based on an enacted law, is scheduled to become 30% in 2023.

Gallo Light's pretax accounting income from the 2021 income statement was $824,000, which includes $34,000 of interest revenue from an investment in municipal bonds. There were no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than those described above.

Tax payable

currently      $55

Deferred tax liability        $47.5              $57       $57             $161.50

Less: Beginning balance                         $0

Change in balance : credit (debit )           $161.50

1. Now the journal entry is

On 2021

Income tax expense ($161.50 + $55)$216.50  

                        To  Deferred tax liability $161.50

                         To Income tax payable $55

(Being the income tax for 2021 is recorded)
