You can also use another method. Create two ledgers under the same group under liability. In any given day your liability will show the tax payable, so might as well enter both input and output tax under the same group so that you can see the setoff amount only.

U need to pass two entries :

1) for availing the input credit on monthly or any particular period

Input Tax A/c Dr............100

To Out put A/c ............. 100

(Being availment of input credit for the month or particular period)

2) for payment of tax

Output tax A/c Dr........ 50

To Bank A/c ............... 50

(Payment of Tax for the period........)

If Output tax showing credit balance, it is current Liablity (it is payable). If it is debit balance, it can be set off in next payments.

Input or output tax is intermidiary and balance sheet items, the question of showing in P & L account does not arise.
