Writing off creditors
A firm has written off the creditors and added the same in capital of the firm saying that they have done settlement with creditors. Is it correct sir. Kindly guide.

It should be shown as income as creditors written back. Directly showing it in capital account is leading to evasion of tax.

Cr. Gain from creditors written off
The original transaction was a revenue expenditure. So the reversal transaction will also be a revenue income.
