A Company incorporated in the year 2005. company has only computers costing to Rs. 5,00,000/- under the head Fixed assets. from 2005 to till date company has not purchased any new assets. up to the year ended 31.03.2008 the company was creating Deferred Tax Liability as the depreciation is more is Income Tax and less in Company Books. accordingly, till 31.03.2008 company's books shows a deferred tax liability of Rs. 88,000/- (Aprox.) now first time, for the y/e 31.03.2009 Income Tax Deprn is less than companies Act, accordingly i have calculated the defered tax as follows:-

Deprn (Companies Act)              25,000

Depn (Income Tax)                      10,000

difference                                       10,000

Hence, D Tax Asset @ 30.90%    3,090

Now my question is,

I have a D T Liability of Rs. 88,000 (Approx) in that account. what will the entry for Current Year D T Asset of Rs. 3,090/-?

According to me, I should Debit Deferred Tax Account & Credit Profit & Loss A/c for Rs. 3090/-. And the final balance that would appear in the Deffered Tax Liability in Balance Sheet as on 31.03.2009 will be Rs. 84910/- (i.e Rs. 88,000 - Rs. 3090)

Am I Right?

Yes, you right,

The second Entry you would have to Debit the Deferred Tax liability A/c. and Credit the Deffered Tax Asset A/c, automatically you Deferred tax liability A/c will get reduced

 rest everything is right but the difference in companies act and income tax act comes out to be Rs. 15000, not Rs. 10000, on which deff. tax asset would be Rs. 4635.
