Difference between tax payable method and tax effects accounting method?

The tax payable method recognizes tax liabilities based on taxable income for the current period, focusing primarily on cash transactions and actual taxes owed. In contrast, the tax effects accounting method, often used in deferred tax accounting, considers the future tax implications of current transactions, reflecting temporary differences between accounting income and taxable income. This method accounts for both current and deferred tax assets and liabilities, providing a more comprehensive view of a company's tax position over time.
