Recording of income can be put off until the next tax year when the income is actually received.

Explanation:

The cash method of accounting is simply to record revenue when it is actually received, i.e. when the company gets paid, and record expenses when they are actually paid by the company.

If a company sells a lot of products on credit, it will have a lot of accounts receivable, or purchases a lot of inputs on credit, it will have a lot of accounts payable. Cash inflows or outflows are all that matters.

This actually postpones sales recognition (and corresponding taxes) until the cash is received.
