12 September 2016 A manufacturing company has a solar power plant in the same state. Units generated by the solar plant are deducted from the units consumed by mfg activity and the net units are billed by the Electricity co. The company calculates the Electricity bill (including Electricity duty)without considering the deduction of solar units & the said (gross)amount is debited to power charges. The diff. between net bill & gross bill is recognised as income from solar plant. Usual accounting is done on net of taxes basis. Is it correct?

12 September 2016 If we buy power from out side agencies such duty is payable, hence it is proper to show it as solar income as the benefit arise due to solar generation.
