Quick Summary
A client faced a GST inspection resulting in a 13.5% tax and penalty on excess stock. This discussion explores how to record these payments in the company's books and determine the associated income tax liability. It suggests treating the paid tax and penalty as an asset if reflected in the GST cash ledger, to be written off against future liabilities.

13.5 paid as penalty will be disallowed expenditure.

Both tax and penalty will be reflected in your Cash Ledger in respective heads at G.S.T Site and you can also utilize them later.Hence it would be better to recognize them as an asset in your books (If it is reflected in your cash ledger) and write off against the liability when you utilize it.
