12 September 2011 Dear Sir,

I want to know the accounting treatment of interest paid on income tax i.e

Interest on Income Tax A/C Dr
To Bank
(At the time payment of interest)


Profit and loss A/C Dr
To Interest on Income Tax
(At the time of closing books)

my confusion is that whether the head interest on Income Tax will be shown below the line/above the line in the Profit and Lose Account of the company.
Which option seems to be more appropriate

Thanxs

D K Bohra

12 September 2011 it will be shown above the line in the P& L becz it just like any other fine or penalty paid by the company.
