Prior period expense whether allowed in income tax or not ??


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
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.

07 September 2023 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 ??

07 September 2023 Yes in case of sale income related to such purchase is accounted in stock or sale during the year or in the previous year.

07 September 2023 sale accounted in FY 21-22

07 September 2023 Yes, you can account it as prior period expenses.

07 September 2023 thanks. you mean it will be allowed as deduction in fy 22-23 although sales booked in fy 21-22

07 September 2023 Yes it will be allowed as corresponding income is shown in previous year.
Case laws are there in favour of it.
