If any duty is paid under protest then it should have been shown in the Loan And Advances - as Claims Recoverable in the balance sheet to safeguard against un-just enrichment.
The doctrine is:- you have to prove that the amount of duty has not been recovered from any other person.
And to prove this the amount is not built in to costs or not debited to P & L Account as expense.
