Walmart - income taxes payable much smaller than income tax expense?

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question about Walmart please - it's income tax payable is only ~$700 mm last year but its income tax expense was much larger at $3600 mm - what would cause such a difference please? I know the difference would be caused by book versus taxable income, but what items/treatment can cause a difference this size? Thanks!
