income tax expense

(Dictionary)

Author:
Harold Averkamp, CPA, MBA

Definition

The amount of income tax that is associated with (matches) the net income reported on a corporation’s income statement. This amount will likely be different than the income taxes actually payable, since some of the revenues and expenses reported on the tax return will be different from the amounts on the income statement. For example, a corporation is likely to use straight-line depreciation on its income statement, but will use accelerated depreciation on its income tax return.
