## What it means for a shop owner

It appears on the balance sheet as a liability, not as revenue. Examples are a prepaid yearly subscription, a gift card sold and a deposit. Each month you deliver the service, you move a part of it to revenue.

## A worked example

You receive 1200 for a year subscription. After one month you record 100 as revenue and 1100 stays deferred.
