what kind of amount you paid to excise officer. If it is duty/interest then it will be allowed as expenses. If it is penalty or penal interest then it will not be allowed.
If the amount is paid to complete the assessment or to give the favorable order then it will be a clear case of bribe to officer & any illegal expenses will not be allowed.
