A gold and diamond trading firm discovered its neighbour had been using their electricity. After issuing a legal notice, the neighbour settled by paying £50,000. The discussion covers the correct journal entry for this receipt and whether the settlement amount is subject to tax.

1.why legal notice?
2. in the books of whom
3. settlement money transactions are generally not shown in books.
a seperate bill is booked and is squared off.
obtain a receipt from electricity dept.
1 legal notice is for X is using abc electricity so abc give legal notice to X

3 how ?

in other words Mr.X is Thefting ABC's electricity after the firm get to know about it  ABC file a suit against MR.X and MR.X have to compensate ABC by giving 50000 rs so what are the journal entry for it ??? 

Pass a journal by debiting Mr.X and crediting Electricity charges for Rs.50000 and it is not taxable in ur books...
