But Navin Sir,When The Bill of Audit Fees Will Be Raised By The Auditor, It will consist Service Tax also.

That Means in This Case at 31-03-11 You Deducted less T.D.S(i.e.on Service Tax component) As A Consequence You Deposited Less Tds in F.Y.2010-2011 ???

Plz Correct me !!! Thanx in advance !!! :-)

As per sec 194J TDS on Professional Fees is deductable after including ST amount.

Audit Fees : 45000/-

ST @ 10.3 % : 4635/-

Total : 49635/-

TDS @ 10 % : 49635.00 @ 10.3% = 4964/-

entry in books :

Audit Fees Dr. 49635

To TDS Payable on Professional 4964

To Audit Fees Payable 44671

There is two aspect releted to provision of audit fee:-

1. as per companies act, provision must be made realted to any type of expenses on accural basis therefore st shall be included in provision of audit fee.

2. in the preview of income tax, tds shall be deducted on credit amount to party, suppose liability is Rs. 1103 included st and assesee make the provision for rs. 1000 then tds would be deducted on rs. 1000.

Consequence when bill raised by the Auditor of rs. 1103,

Rs. 103 would be disallowed as prior period item. and liability of tds on rs. 103 will be arised when bill to be entered.

Sir,

but on base of accural basis if we making provision for the Audit fees we also have to make provision of ST for the same in the same year and the same TDS on both to be deducted on the same in the year from which they are actually related.
