Provision

Items like prov. for tax, fbt,deffered tax etc are all the items of below the line. It is better to transfer the balance of P&L A/c to P&L appropriation a/c & then charge prov. & reserves from it & transfer the balance to Reserves & surplus a/c. Any other views are always welcome.

Hi Yogita, Provision for taxation is indeed an expense and a current liability. It is not an appropriation but an expense. Though it is presented in the financial statements as followS PROFIT BEFORE TAXATION XXXXX PROVSION FOR TAXATION XXXXX PROFIT AFTER TAXATION XXXXX It does not make it a below the line item. YOur entry is correct. P&L A/c to Provision for taxation A/c. Why would you need to pass an entry otherwise? In tally create provision for taxation under Current liability group - taxation subgroup (if you want it that way - create it) Similarly same goes for provision for Fringe Benefit tax. However it is not an allowable deduction as per section 40(a). Same goes for deferred tax. It is groped along with provision for taxation. Let me know if it helps you.
