Y. 2010-2011, FBT is abolished, but if advance FBT is paid will company eligible for refund?

No, If Advance Tax paid during the year exceeds FBT Liability, The excess will sit in FBt Advance Tax in Loans & Advances as an asset and This excess needs to be claimed as refund for that particular year. For AY 2010-11 However FBT is abolished, still FBT provision needs to be made for first quarter since the budget proposal yet to be passed. However later this provision will be reversed later and the advance tax paid will be eligible for refund.

In accounts, you have to make provision for fbt which is shown in liablity side and Advance FBT will be shown in loan & advances side. At the time of assessment , these will be set off, net of it will be refunable to you. Advance fbt deposited for AY 2010 -11 will be refunded otherwise, it will be treated as advance income tax.
