No. A deferred gain is shown as a liabilty. If it had not been deferred it would be shown as capital. Whatever is received by the seller is an asset (cash or note receivable, etc). Since this new asset is more than the basis of the asset that was sold, one must have a credit in order to balance the books.
Example Sale of land with a basis of $400,000 for a sales price of $900,000. The deferred gain is $500,000.
Note receivable 900,000
Land 400,000
Deferred Gain 500,000

Deferred tax is not considered a fixed asset. Instead, it represents a tax obligation or benefit that arises due to temporary differences between the accounting treatment of certain items and their treatment for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets can arise from situations like tax losses carried forward, while deferred tax liabilities arise when income is recognized for accounting purposes before it is recognized for tax purposes. Thus, they are classified under non-current assets or liabilities on the balance sheet but do not fit the definition of fixed assets.
