Can anyone help me out on this.

In the year 2020-21, While calculating TDS for 4th quarter i.e for the period(Jan-March) , unknowingly I had deducted TDS of a bill which pertains to April 2021 i.e next year (2021-22) 1st quarter and I included that bill while filing 4th quarter TDS of the period 2020-21.

Now should I bring that April month 2021 bill in the year 2020-21 itself although it is post period item in in my books or any other alternative?

Quick Summary
A user mistakenly deducted TDS for April 2021 (next financial year) in the Jan-March 2021 quarter (previous financial year). They are seeking advice on how to rectify this. Options include treating the expense as provisional for the previous year if it relates to that period, or accounting for it in the correct financial year (2021-22) and adjusting the excess TDS against future liabilities. Revising the TDS return for the incorrect quarter and utilising the challan for the correct period is also suggested.

Excess TDS paid can be adjusted against future liabilities. At the year end, the excess would appear as a debit balance under current assets. You may adjust this while making payment for the transactions pertaining to April 2021.

Is the nature of excess TDS similar to tax credits?

Yes, you may treat so.

Means, can I bring those April month invoice in the year 2020-21 itself and show it in my books? 

1) If such expense pertains to FY20-21 you may record as part of the year 20-21 or if provision can be made for the same during FY20-21, you may create provisional entry and deduct tax too.

2) Alternatively, if such expense is not related to FY20-21, then it can be accounted only in FY21-22, in which case, adjust excess TDS in the subsequent period while making payment as well as while filing TDS return.

Revise tds return of FY 19-20 Q4 and remove the tds entry from  the tds return. The tds challan will get untilized. 

 

Use the untilised challan in q1 FY20-21 tds return.

 

 

.

Find out any possibility of making provision to a/c the same so that it can be avoided the spill over.
