Addition in capital account

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

When unclaimed creditors remain on a balance sheet for many years, adding them to the proprietor's capital account can have tax implications. Initially, it might be viewed as undisclosed income, potentially leading to higher tax rates. However, it is possible for the assessee to declare this amount as income in their Income Tax Return (ITR) and pay tax at regular slab rates, rather than a higher rate.
