An entity should classify its assets and liabilities (except those related to a discontinued operation) in the statement of financial position into short-term and long-term subcategories of the operating, investing, financing assets and financing liabilities categories unless a presentation based on liquidity provides information that is more relevant.
An asset or liability is short-term if either its contractual maturity or its expected date of realisation or settlement is within one year of the reporting date. In other words, the distinction is based on the shorter of(a) contractual maturity and (b) expected realisation or settlement.
Otherwise, an asset or liability is long-term.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities should be classified as short-term or long-term according to the classification of the related asset or liability.
