however actual self assessment tax paid is equivalent to the current tax....
no need for any entry , balance in the provision account has to be adjusted with the next years provision ( we can make less provision in next year , as we already have a balance in provision account ) .
but our provision itself is less than actual tax liability.
sorry , I thought provision is higher than actual tax .
* difference between provision and actual tax should be debited to profit and loss account in next year but it should be shown separately .
* this loss should be shown separately as a prior period item .
