10 January 2020 Hi friends, Any one from Big 4 / MNC working for USA Companies... Pls help...
Salary is due but not paid in a US company. No tax is provided for. They continue to make provisions and claim it as an expense in Income statement but no provision for Tax. Salary is not paid. This is for owners so they did not demand salary to be paid as well.

They say salary is liable to tax only when paid in USA. So if you dont pay salary then it is not taxable.

In India salary is taxable as and when it is due or paid whichever is early.

I find this ridiculous, as i believe you cannot claim the salary expense if it is not paid and it escapes withholding tax as well.

But i could not pull the line item in their tax law where it says you either have to reverse the provision or provide and pay the withholding Tax. Pls help.

10 January 2020 In India also TDS on salary is deducted only it's paid, in noway it's different from US law. March salary paid in April is considered in next year taxable income.
