Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the correct accounting entry for year-end freight charges incurred in the 2020-21 financial year, but billed in April 2021. The user seeks clarification on how to account for the expense, TDS, and payable amount. Expert advice suggests booking the expense and TDS in 2020-21, potentially crediting 'Expense Payable' and reversing it to the actual party account in the next financial year if the bill date causes issues.

Since you have the bill and know the party , you can credit 98 to party and 2 to TDs payable
Bill date is Apr 5 financial year 21-22 right. How can I credit party account
Though bill date is April 5, you say expenses all pertain to year 20-21.

or else you can credit expenses payable 98 in 20-21 and reverse it to party account in 21 -22, but the TDs credit you have to give in 20-21.

so in my opinion my first option is better unless you have a software problem in accepting bill dated april 5.
