AA-39 Partner Admitted Tax Recording

Dear All Respected Members,

Please educate me on following:

Suppose that a partnership firm filed their 2022 return. Firm shifted profit share to partners.

Upon filing return of partners, it is found that there are some admitted tax which need to be deposited first to file their returns.

Firm deposited that admitted tax on partners behalf in Sep. 2023.

Please educate that in which year this tax payment will be recorded? in FY 2022 or 2023 ? and what will be journal entry of it ?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the correct financial year for recording admitted tax paid by a partnership firm on behalf of its partners. The consensus suggests that if the tax relates to the 2022 financial year but was paid in September 2023, it should be recorded in FY 2023. Journal entries are provided, typically involving a debit to a 'Tax Paid' account and a credit to 'Bank', followed by a debit to the 'Partner's Current Account' and a credit to 'Tax Paid'. Alternatively, a single entry to the partner's current account with a clear narration is also suggested.

Post your financial data's.
Paid behalf of partners/promoters then its just drawings...
