03 January 2015 Hello experts,

As we know at the time of capitalisation we have to deduct NRV of scrap from the total capitalisation amount and have to book a new asset as a scrap.

so if a company did not consider this point at the time of capitalisation in previous year in whicha capitalisation instrumented.

then in current year when Scrap is disposed and realise, what should be the treatment of receipt from scrap as this is originally should be deducted from capitalised value.

03 January 2015 If you are so meticulous, then prepare a schedule which DATEs back from the first year of asset purchase and make the rectification entries through Profit and Loss Adjsutment Account for the all the years. That is better.

03 January 2015 These are the permissible actions.

Make a detailed working....(In fact we made such detailed workings in deferred tax asset/liability case...right?)

See, the point is, ERROR has already occurred. Whether permissible or not is not a question now......We need to rectify the same from GOOD GOVERNANCE view point.

The disallowability under income tax shall be dealt by the tax auditor. Provide this working to tax auditor as well.
