Best Answer

YES! Accrued taxes are usually due to payroll.

Example: employees that get paid by period may have that period partially split at the end of the year. Lets say an employee paid biweekly with one week of the pay period falling in this year and the other in the next. At year end there will be an accrued tax liability for those FICA taxes due for the portion that has not yet been paid, but that has accrued as a liability. Remember this is a principle in accrual accounting!!!

If an accrued liability is not recorded, then it is not a liability on the balance sheet.

Is accrued interest payable a current liability?

For general purposes, accrued interest payable is generally a current liability, however that depends on one major factor. When will the liability be paid? Any liability that a company can reasonably expect to pay off in 12 months (or less) or one accounting period is a "current liability" any liability that will be paid off at a longer time is a "long term liability" So if the accrued interest will be paid in 12 months or less, then it is a current liability.


Is income tax payable a current or non current liability?

of course it is a current liability ,This is a specific type of accrued expense -- the income tax a company accrues over the year, but does not have to pay yet, according to various federal, state and local tax schedules. Although they're subject to withholding, some taxes simply are not accrued by the government over the course of the quarter or the year. Instead, they're paid in lump sums whenever the bill is due. good luck
