05 April 2009 For eg say: we have deposited the tax of rs.2 lacs out of the 5 lacs of self assessment tax and we deposited the remaining 3 lacs after december with interest of say rs.10000/-.My question is how the interest part will be treated in the books?will it be treated as an expense or not?if yes or no then why? please clarify.

05 April 2009 Interest paid to the deparment will be shown as expenditure in the books of accounts. Beacause it is a loss to the company we have to debit it to expenditure.

06 April 2009 the interest is in the nature of expenditure to the company therefore will be treated as expenses in finanacial statement but the same will not be available as admisable expenditure for calculating Income Tax liability
