Liability on Liability

This query is : Resolved 

02 April 2008 Profit is shown as a Liability in the Balance Sheet which is added to Properitor's Capital but we have to pay incometax on profit which is another liability. Dont u think, we are generating one liability through another?

02 April 2008 As far liability of tax on profit is concerned,it is purely a liability and as far as capital is concerned it is a liability towards proprietor.
i just explain u th.an example. Suppose u don`t have any money and starts business by taking loan.so this loan is a liability.With this loan u earn profit in the business and pay tax on profit.This tax is again a liability.So first liability is of principal amount i.e.loan and second liability generates from surplus i.e.profit.So we are not creating liability of tax from loan but from profit.

02 April 2008 Thank You Sir.
I am student of Final.
