Incometax refund ledger and group

13632 views 9 replies

Hello

I want to pass an entry in tally for tncome tax refund which i received.

I have created ledger 'incometax refund' but what group should it be under?? Is it 'indirect income' or ' capital account' or any thing else?

Internet search gives conflicting  answers. So i wanted genuine help 

Same goes for professional tax entry of 2500 which i did. What group should i put it under??

 Regards

Quick Summary
Income tax refund in Tally should not be created as a separate income ledger; it is adjusted against TDS and provision for taxation (asset side). Professional tax is generally recorded under 'Duties and Taxes' (liability), or as indirect expense in some employer-related cases.

You have to adjust against provision for taxation and Tds ( Asset)


Provision for Taxation A/c Dr
To Tds ( Asset)
To Interest on IT refund

New ledger is not required for income tax refund

As per second query , professional Tax will be
deducted from salary. so pass entry

Salary A/c Dr
To Salary payable A/c Cr
To Professional Tax A/c Cr
( Being salary payable after deducting professional Tax)

So professional Tax will be under Duties and Taxes, Liability side , Balance sheet .

When you pay professional Tax in Govt Account pass entry

Professional Tax A/c Dr
To Bank A/c Cr
( payment of professional Tax in Govt Account)

My question is  profesdional tax  comes under which group in tally??

Professional Tax will be under Duties and Taxes ( Other) Liability  side  Balance sheet , I have already written above .

If PT is for employer reg renewal then it is an indirect expense

Professional Tax deducted from employees salary, is Liability of the Company to pay in to Govt Account , therefore  Under Duties and  Taxes .

But there are two types of PT . Employer and employees. I have quoted about employer
Yes can b considered under indirect expensr
