Income Tax is charged to Profit and loss account. Therefore, it will reduce profit.
I think that INCOMETAX not charge with profit and loss so it will not any such treatment just payment voucher or peovision will create

on 31st march 2017 show provision of income tax by debiting profit n loss account....in 17-18 reverse provision by crediting advance tax and cash payment if any..
No...

Income Tax Paid or Payable is not debited in PandL account...

It's apply to capital account....
If you create provision entry on 31st March...

Journal Entry :

Dr. Capital Account - XXXX
Cr. Income Tax Payable A/c - XXXX

At the time of filing / Payment create Payment Entry :

Dr. Income Tax Payable A/c - XXXX
Cr. Bank A/c - XXXX.



If you can't create provision at year ending then no need to worry... Just pay the tax and create "PAYMENT" entry in capital account and Give NARRATION.

THAT'S ALL...

GOOD LUCK...
There is nothing wrong in charging it to p&l account. Anyways the net profit will be again transfered to capital account.

In case of other than proprietorship, we charge it to p&l only. Hence passing through p&l is the correct way.

Dear., Thank you for the reply and suggestions. But, don't be suggest to me. Also if you are correct way as per your your reply then you can follow to the way... PandL account and Capital account not same. After finalize and transfer the profit to capital also it's to company...

@ RAJA P M SIR  SUPPOSE IT IS A PRIVATE LIMITED COMPANY...IN THAT CASE WE DONT HAVE CAPITAL ACCOUNTS AND WE CREATE PROV THROUGH PNL ACCOUNT ITSELF...

 

IF U SUGGEST PROV CANT BE CREATED THROUGH PNL THEN HOW WILL THE PROVISION BE CREATED..

FOR OTHER THAN CO. U MAY CHOOSE CAPITAL ACCOUNT....BUT THE QUESTION POSTER HAS NOT SPECIFIED THE ORGANISATION TYPE, THUS I SUGGESTED PNL WHICH WILL BE CORRECT IN BOTH TYPES...

AS PER MY OPINION, TRATMENT OF PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX IS DEPEND ON THE STATUS OF CONCERN. I.E WHETHER IT IS PROPRIETORSHIP OR PARTNERSHIP OR IT IS A COMPANY.

IN CASE OF COMPANY PROVISION FOR TAX HAS BEEN MADE AND SAME HAS BEEN ADJUSTED AGAINST ADVANCE TAX OR TDS OR SELF ASSESSMENT TAX.

WHILE IN CASE OF PROPRIETORSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP FIRM, INCOME TAX HAS BEEN ADJUSTED AGAINST CAPITAL ONLY AS PROFIT AS WEL AS LOSS ALSO TRANSFERRED TO CAPITAL ACCOUNT AT THE YEAR END. SO THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN DEBITING PROFIT & LOSS OR CAPITAL ACCOUNT WHILE PAYING INCOME TAX IN CASE OF PROPRIETORSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP FIRM CONCERN.

 

Income Tax is payable if there  taxable  Profit

Income Tax is an expenditure of the entity. 

Ultimately it  reduces the  profit and in turn  it reduces the balance in  capital account
 
ENTRY

 

Income Tax Account                        Dr.

Income Tax Payable Account          Cr.

 

( Being provision for Income

  Tax Payable for the A.Y.    )

 

Income Tax Account is to be reflected on debit side of I & E A/c or Profit & Loss Account for the period or Year.

 

Debit in  the Profit & Loss  Account or I  & E A/c  will result in reduced profit 

 

Indirectly it will reflect as withdrawal of capital.
