Section 145A requires an adjustement in the values of Opening Stock, Closing Stock, Purchases and Sales. Presently you are showing all these items net of VAT.
If you add VAT in all the above 4 items then, it is natural that your Trading Account will show higher GP.
(As sales and Cl Stock will enhance more powerfully than the Purchases and Opening stock as you have a Vat liability )
This Higher GP will result into Higher NP unless you debit P& L A?c by VAT TAX to get the same Net Profit figure.
If you debit VAT TAX Expense A/c to P&L , duty to pay this tax U/s 43B emerges. If Tax has been already paid , you will be allowed Expense, otherwise Section 43B will come into Action.
