    3,000

    Explanation:

    As the income will be taxed at 25% the income tax liability will be for that amount

    12,000 x 25% = 3,000

    The tax deferred liability is generated from a temporary difference. The company is paying less income tax today but will pay more in the future. Hence there is a liability.

    The accounting reason for this treatment is to match expenses with the time they occur or the revenues which generated.
