Advance Tax payment

Advance Tax A/c Dr

To Bank A/c Cr

( Advance Tax paid )

Assessment of Income Tax will be next year , On 31 march you have pass entry

Income Tax A/c Dr

To Income Tax payable Cr

( Provision for Income Tax )

Next year on Assessment adjustment entry

Income Tax payable for F.Y A/c Dr

Income Tax refund A/c Dr

To Advance Tax A/c Cr

To TDS payable A/c Cr

( Tax Payable adjusted against Advance tax paid and TDS deducted and balance refund )

Balance Refund Entry

Bank A/c Dr

To Income Tax refund A/c Cr

( refund received received )

Note - Dr balance TDS means deducted by party will be adjusted at time of assessment , So paid Advance Tax and TDS deducted more than Tax payable , hence refund .

Even if no provision has been made for income tax during the PY, you may make the entries, as suggested by Prasad, during the current year. Just ensure to match the balances as per financials.

Wait for Final Assessment Order. For actual tax liability pass accounting entry :- income tax exp a/c Dr. to Provision for tax. On final assessment adjust provision for tax against Advance tax and balancing amount will go to P&L as excess or short tax paid.
