22 July 2025 In Form 23ACA, here’s how to handle these items:

Income tax including deferred tax:
Report the total tax expense as per the Profit & Loss Account for the current year. This includes:

Current tax for the current year

Deferred tax for the current year

Any adjustments related to previous years (such as short/excess provision) should also be included as they affect the tax expense in the P&L.

Prior period expenses:
These are expenses related to previous years but recognized in the current year. They should be shown under "Prior Period Items" or as part of "Exceptional Items" if applicable, reflecting the nature of those expenses. In Form 23ACA, they typically come under the P&L line items (adjustments to the profit or loss).

Transfer to Reserves:
Transfers to reserves (like general reserve, capital reserve, or statutory reserve) do not appear in the Profit & Loss Account, so they should NOT be shown in Form 23ACA under the P&L schedules. They are reflected in the Balance Sheet part of the filing, under Reserves & Surplus.
