The provision for taxation is subtracted for ' - non the basis taxatio.,. , from the profit before extraordinary items and tax to find profit or loss for the period. Such provision for taxation is also shown under short term provisions head 'current liabilities'. The journal. in the balance sheet undern the wbicJt appear entry for current provision for taxatio is as follows: Profit &Loss Ale Dr. lR ~visi on for taxation A/c Just as provision is made in the current year, provision for taxation would have -. been in the previous year and such provision ,called, 'Existing provision' would appear in th~.credit side oftrial balance. When such provision exists, income tax - pai~.must be debited to provision account. Ifthe existing·provision is in excess o~~ !ncome tax paid, such ex~s provisiol\ should be added to the profit for the current period. In case the existing provision is insufficient, it is necessary _to ,r-ake further provision which is to be deducted from the profit for the period. ~- Under section 208 ofthe Income Tax Act, 1961, a company is required to pay its oatirnated income tax liability in the year in which income. is earned by it. Advance tax lbaU be pa~i e duri.q the financial year in every case wher e~ amount of IUCrh tax payable by the company duriq that year, as computed in accordance with~ provisions of advance tax, is Ra. I0,000 or DiOre. The followinajoumal entry ·ii pused when advance tax is paid: Advance tax Ale Dr. ToBaokA/c Advance tax is shown as ' short tenn loans and advances' which comes under the head ' current assets~ in the balance sheet and it can later be adjusted towards income tax payable after the assessment is over. r (o' (b 1.S Corporate A.

While tnakintnconie tat ! for interest on debentures, the TDS is shown on the liabilities side of I>aYrnea. sheet as an item of'other current liabilities'. till it is pajd by the eornt balance Government. On the other hand, while receiving interest on ·sec~-tothe dividends, the TDS is shown as short term loans and advances ~tres or under the head ' current assets' in the balance sheet.

Iaeometu Income tax pay~ble should be debited to income tax account and TDS and advance tax should be adjusted in this account. For example, ifthe tax payable on assessed income is Rs.1,50,000 and the company has already paid in advance Rs.1,00,000, the balance tax amount payable only is Rs.50,000.
