<p>my two cents:</p><p></p><p>Deferred tax is also kind of cash flow for the company operations. If the company keep growing, it means the capital spending would grow too(not good case from investor perspective). The deferred tax would therefore rise all along. So, you take this as euqity(means to grow assets). However, if the capital spending declines, the increasing defered tax will diminish as well. So you need treat it as liablity. </p>
