Please help me with journal entry for the following case :

 

Our profit for financial year 2011-2012 was Rs 5193.51 Income tax calculated on this came out to be 1610 INR . this income tax was paid from my bank account to government on 29/09/2012.

 

Obviously profit for the year 2011-2012 will be 5193.51.  Does 1610 INR for tax goes into expenses for year 2012-2013 ?

 

Let me know.

 

Thanks,

Divya
