Please Tell me the accounting treatment of following:-

There is Service Tax Recoverable A/C(Dr Bal) amt to Rs.9800 which is standing from A/Y 2007-08 till date.I think now its claim cannot be taken,then what entry should we do to write-off such amt?

Whether it will be disallowed for income tax purpose?

Q1.There is only a single A/C opened for TDS Receivable For A/Y 07-08,08-09,09-10,10-11 whereas seperate A/cs opened for Prvosion for taxation viz.Provision for taxation(AY 07-08) ,Provision for taxation(AY 08-09)and so on

Is it right to operate a single A/C for TDS Recoverable for all years,whether it will create any problem?

Q2.After how many years TDS Recoverable A/C ,Provision for Taxation and advance tax A/c standing from a long priod should be adjusted?It means that for how many yrs should we wait for Income Tax Assessment?

Sir, I've been going through the chapters Amalgamation and Dissolution.
There I met with an account named
"REALISATION A/C".

I saw that Assets and liabilities are transferred to such A/C to know the last Profit or Loss.
But I'm confused regarding its nature. What nature does this A/C hold...Real, nominal or personal....and Why...???

Same is the case of SUSPENSE A/C. I want to know its nature too.

THE SELLER HAS TRANSFEERED TO THE BUYER THE PROPERTY IN GOODS FOR A CONSIDERATION
OR
SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND REWARDS OF OWNERSHIP HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THE BUYER WHERE THE SELLER RETAINS NO EFFECTIVE CONTROL OVER GOODS TO A DEGREE USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH OWNERSHIP

IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS TWO POINTS?
