        Generally both GAAP & IFRS recognise tax under operating. But IFRS requires taxes related to investing or financing to be classified accordingly.

          @CFAcharterwannabe‌ Correct! To reiterate, under both IFRS and U.S. GAAP, income tax expense on operating income is an operating expense. The difference between the two is when the income comes from a financing or an investing activity. In that case, the expense would still be an operating expense under U.S. GAAP but not under IFRS.

            It might help if the original question identified that that it is asking where in a cash flow statement the expense would be reported (assuming it’s been paid).
