Your accountant its as such correct. Any amount collected as government dues must be deposited to government. However to find out the best possible way and option detailed.facts need to be known and only post a in details discussion/ analysis should a conclusion be arrived at by you. Such things cannot be done on public forums. Please feel free to.get in touch with me applegreenfinance @ gmail.com
