We know that when Advance Tax is paid, the entry is : a) Advance Tax ( FinYear) Dr To Bank. Income-tax deducted at source from payments received by us is also accounted as above. b) Similarly, when Provision for Income-tax is made at the end of the year , the entry is : Profit & Loss A/c Dr To Provision for Income-Tax ( Fin Year) How do we square up the Accounts in (a) and (b) above ?
