In the F.Y 21-22 you paid Advance Tax , so pass entry on 3/3/022

Advance Tax A/c Dr
Bank A/c Cr
( Payment of Advance Tax )

Advance Tax will be under Advances Asset side
Balance sheet .
You C/F the same advance Tax in the next year as Opening Balance .

Your assessment and Income tax payable is done in the next financial year . After assessment you can adjust tax payable against Advance Tax and pay balance Income Tax .so pass entry .

Income tax payable A/c Dr
To Advance Tax A/c Cr
To Bank A/c Cr
( Income tax paid after adjusted against Advance Tax)
----------------------------------

2) In second query you show as Labour Expenses payable on 31..3.22 . so pass entry
on 31.3.22

Labour Expenses A/c Dr 10000
To Labour Expenses Payable A/c Cr 10000
( Labour expenses payable )

Show Labour Expenses payable , liability side Balance sheet .

C/F same Labour Expenses in the next year as Labour Expenses payable . when you pay labour expenses .
pass entry on 15.4.22

Labour Expenses payable (21-22) A/c Dr
To Bank A/c Cr
( Labour Expenses Paid )

@ Sabyasachi Mukherjee

Above entry is for provision for Income tax , that we make on 31.3.22 . because assessment is done in the next year also we pay income tax in the next year . we make only payment of TDS and Advance Tax in the current year and same is adjusted at time of assessment .
self- assess tax also we pay in the next year . what you have mentioned in query same entry has been passed in the 1st reply .

Advance tax payment will not be accepted after end of the FY.

So you have to pay it through Self Assessment Tax Only

Provision for Taxation can be inserted for total tax before taxes paid . So need not be passed to the extent of due ..

It will be adjusted after ITR is processed
