Investopedia explains 'Income Tax Payable'

This account is usually identified in the balance sheet when the company has received its tax bill but has put off paying it for the time being. The taxes are calculated on the company's net income according to its corporate tax rate. If a company is due to receive a tax benefit from its respective revenue agency, the amount of income tax payable will decrease.
