Quick Summary
This discussion explores the accounting treatment for refundable taxes paid on investments under AS-13. While AS-13 doesn't directly cover capital gains tax, it addresses deferred tax. The consensus is that any refundable tax is not considered part of the investment's acquisition cost. Therefore, if taxes paid on an investment are refundable, they should not be debited to the investment account as part of its cost.

This standard does not deal with taxes like capital gains and no treatment. It does however checks and treats deferred tax treatments.

Please provide the full context.

@ manish sir
if a firm/company make an investment in share of another company of 10,000 share @ rs.20 each and suppose the taxes paid of rs 1000 to purchase it is refundable then what will be the cost of acquisition to be debited in investment account

Is it a hypothetical situation?
What is the nature of the tax levied on investment and also refundable?

Anyway, anything refundable is not part of the cost.
