Explanation / Answer

income tax payable is the amount of current tax provision in the books which is 10747

deferred tax is created for GAAP purposes according to matching principle and is not something directly payable to government now. it will have tax implications but not a direct liability to government.

only the current tax provision is the direct liability to government.

and income tax expense payable in 2016= 10747
