04 May 2010 FOR SAT:

SELF ASSESSMENT TAX A/C DR
TO BANK A/C
KEEP SAT UNDER CURRENT ASSETS.

ON RECEIVING ORDER:--

PROVISION FOR TAXATION A/C DR.
TO TDS RECEIVABLE A/C
TO ADVANCE TAX A/C
TO SELF ASSESSMENT TAX A/C

ANY DIFFERENCE SHOULD BE ADJUSTED WITH WITH PROFIT A BY PROVIDING AGAINST SHORT PROVISION OR WRITING OFF EXCESS PROVISION.

04 May 2010 Will the entries be any different if the firm is a sole proprietorship firm? Am i suppose to book income tax expenditure in the books or shall i pay through capital account?

04 May 2010 You should pay through capital a/c as income tax expense as it is not allowed. So in effect it is passed to the capital a/c only in case of sole proprietoship firm.
