Income tax shown as Drawings?

1463 views 4 replies

Hello, 

I need clarification as my CA communicates that the income tax that I have paid in AY 19-20 should be shown as a Drawings in the AY 20-21 during balance sheet creation, 

Normally we show the last year's tax as a Legal expense in the Profit & Loss page of this year and like that the last few years the tax has been paid, but this new rule of showing the income tax as a personal drawing seems to be illogical.

Need expert comments on the same.

Your CA is correct, Income Tax is not allowed as an expenses means not to be shown in P&L as refund amount is not taxable in hand of receiver. thus the only way to set off the last year advance tax/tds/self Assessment tax is to be shown as drawings
Agree with Mr. Abhay Gupta's reply

Thank you, CA Abhay Gupta.. is this also applicable for proprietorship firms..?

Yes. Income tax is personal expense not business expense. hence drawings for individuals etc.
