AS such, if you dont have LIABILITY for the tax ,it is not compulsory to make provision for tax.

arey bt in above case wat will happnd???

 

It is better to make provision as per merchantile accounting system.

in this case, advance tax paid by you is asset of yours, and you will get the refund of tax of the amount excess paid by you on and above your tax liability.

means???/

Provision is made for the payment of upcoming liablity which are not defined (assume). In your case you have already paid the advance tax in excess amount . it will treated as Current Assets and adjust next accounting year tax liablity.

you have to make provision for taxation for the tax liability on 31st march. Also on the same date Advance Tax would be standing in assets side of the balance sheet. In next year i.e. on 1st April when you will set off the amount of provision and Advance Tax the balance will stand as Refund of Income Tax.

Entry on 31st March

Profit & Loss A/c Dr.             100000

Cr. Provision for TAxation                     100000

Entry on 1st April

Provision for Taxation Dr.   100000

Refund of Income Tax Dr.     25000

Cr. Advance Income Tax                                       125000 

 

Its all what I think should be the accounting treatment.

Any corrections plz reply.
