Typically, companies are able to defer paying some portion of the income tax expense shown on their income statement. Recall our earlier discussion about deferred tax liabilities: They are created and reported on the balance sheet when an income or expense item is treated differently on GAAP financial statements than it is on the company’s (IRS) tax returns, and that difference results in a greater tax expense on the financial statements than taxes payable on the tax return.
Accordingly, these deferred taxes, which have not been paid out in cash and yet are recorded as an expense on the income statement, must be added back to net income on the cash flow statement.
Notice that Wal-Mart indicates on its income statement the portion of taxes it has deferred paying in 2004 ($177 m), and that those deferred taxes are therefore added to net income on the company’s cash flow statement (Exhibit 7.13).
