Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to account for an income tax refund when no prior receivable was recorded. The recommended journal entry is to debit the bank account and credit the capital account. This approach adjusts for previous tax expenses that were debited to capital, ensuring accurate financial reporting.

Income tax refund ( create under capital account )
Previously there is a receivable which had been booked being the surplus of tax.

Earlier such taxes would have been debited to capital account. Now you will have to credit to capital account.

Adjust with capital because you have earlier given the effect in your P/L A/c which is adjusted with capital
