Essentially, they are taxes that are 'deferred' to a later time. Tax Liabilities are typically taxes you are required to pay on income, or profit, you have obtained. Being able to 'defer' them is a means by which you are allowed to push them off until a future date when your tax 'status' would place you in a tax bracket that withholds less taxes from your income (as in when you retire).

How do you record a deferred payment?

To record a deferred payment, first, create a liability account to recognize the obligation to pay in the future. When the payment is initially recorded, you would debit the appropriate expense account and credit the deferred payment liability account. When the payment is made, you would debit the deferred payment liability account and credit cash or accounts payable. This ensures that the expense is recognized in the correct period while reflecting the liability until payment is completed.

Should a deferred expense or deferred rent in this example be classified as 'Long Term Liability'?

Deferred Expenses are on the asset side of the balance sheet, not the liability side. Long Term relates to anything beyond the next twelve months, but a long term deferred expense would probably be listed as "Other Assets". The deferred expenses are correctly represent the Assets of the company. But, if a company has not paid its rent & its due in next 12 month or may be due on virtual payment basis in 2-3 years, then such expense (deferred rent) is required to be shown on Liability side of the B/S. Furthermore, such payments to be made in next 12 months are to be presented as Current Liability & payments to be expelled in more than 12 months are to be shown as Non-Current Liability Section.
