deferrals
Putting things off
Deferrals are postponements—instances of putting something off until later.
In accounting, a deferral delays recognizing revenue or expenses: The company recorded several revenue deferrals this quarter.
In education and military contexts, deferrals postpone enrollment or service: He received a draft deferral to finish college.
Tax deferrals let you delay paying taxes on income or gains.
