Accrued liabilities are a current liability if they are due within one year.
Of course, it is a liability because the company doesn't own the accrued taxes. It can use the money as long as it doesn't have to pay them. So, it represents quite cheap capital to invest in the short term. But that's also risky if something goes wrong. That said, I would classify it as a current liability because it's likely to have to be paid in less than a year.
Liabilities
In general, yes, accrued liabilities are considered current because a formal request (e.g., invoice, tax bill, etc.) from the entity who is owed the debt will make the debt current. Since there are few creditors who will wait more than a year to let an organization know that they would like to be paid (for the first time), accrued liabilities should be considered current. Exceptions sometimes occur in legal cases lasting longer than one year where a company may have a judgment for money against them. In these cases, the liability may not be current until there is more clarity as to (1) when the case will be judged and (2) what amount is to be requested.

Current liabilities are liabilities that are due within 12 months. Short term debt is a current liability. However, there are other current liabilities. For example, taxes payable, interest payable, wages payable, accounts payable. Therefore, short term debt is not the same as current liabilities. (Short term debt is a current liability, but not all current liabilities are short term debt.)
