This discussion explores whether a prior period expense, specifically a £1 crore purchase from FY 21-22 for which the invoice was initially unavailable but later provided post-audit, can be claimed as an allowable expense in FY 22-23. The consensus is that it can be allowed as a deduction in FY 22-23, provided the corresponding sales income was recognised in FY 21-22. Case law supports this treatment.

suppose purchases made during the year 100 cr which is reflected in GST. However invoice for 1 cr purchases is not found at the time of audit/nor duplicate copy collected from parties upto the date of audit and it is disallowed by the auditor in fy 21-22.
however party gave duplicate copy of invoice post audit.
My question : can 1 cr purchase accounted in fy 22-23 pertaining to fy 21-22 be allowed as expenditure in fy 22-23 ??
