tds

 Dear Venkatesh,

This issue is not clear, please mention the detailed issue, like TDS has been deposited in 05-06 or not.

How it can be possible that an invoice which was issued in May 2005 is recorded in May 2009? In case of accrual accounting i dont think its possible. Please mention the full case.

all People is Correct, Please explain

 ok now i will tell you......

TDS was deducted but not deposited in 2005, right. So the expense booked would have been disallowed in 05-06.

Now when the TDS has been deposited in May 2009, The Expense booked in 05-06 will be allowed in 09-10. Here the question should be of allowability of the invoice booked and not of the TDS.

As you are saying that they have booked the expenses in may 2005. It means that they have deducted TDS at the time of booking the entry and if they are depositing that amount with interest now then as mentioned by shailendra expenses willbe allowed this year which was not alllowed earlier due to Section 40(a).

 Yes shailendra. But still my focus is not on invoice. I am concerned whether TDS which needs to be deducted long back almost 5 yrs back is now deducted and paid. NO doubt expense is disallowed. Whether there is any time bar for payment as invooice was actually booked in 2005

 No there is no time bar for the payment of TDS. But you will have to deposit the TDS with interest.

according to me there will be two cases:-

If you deposit the TDS from your own pocket then TDS will not be allowed to you. Because TDS would have been booked as an exp. in P/L a/c

But if your recover it from the party then you must have debited the party's a/c and then deposited the TDS. In this there is no question of booking TDS as an exp. in P/L a/c.

Satisfied or not?

Need further clarification then tell me i will tell you the whole system of deducting TDS

 Yes satisfied. Thanks a lot

 sudhanshu- TDS was deducted and paid both in 2009. No tds entry was passed in 2005. Only invoice amount was passed in the year 2005

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.

not possible............... it's only imagined case.......... not actual.............

To the people who said its imagined case- I am on a audit currently where i have found such a case that y i am here with that quest. May b you ppl are dummy and may be the ppl who are non-dummy where able to ans rather than imagine the things.
