Vat paid after tax audit - journal entry

According to Section 43 B of the Income Tax Act, 1961, any sum payable by the assessee by way of tax, duty, cess or fee, by whatever name called, under any law for the time being in force, shall be allowed (irrespective of the previous year in which the liability to pay such sum was incurred by the assessee according to the method of accounting regularly employed by him) in previous year in which such sum is actually paid by him. Here, the VAT liability was paid belatedly after the finalization of accounts for F.Y.2012-13. Hence, the benefit for the same could not be taken in F.Y.2012-13. The journal entry in this case would be simple : - VAT Accrued (F.Y.2012-13) To Cash / Bank You need to mention the period so that you can claim the benefit of VAT paid in F.Y. 2013-14
