I have one client which is a ltd. company. Suppose it has made provision for taxes for the year 2007-08 Rs. 150000/-. And the actual tax liability comes in the assessment of this company is Rs. 125000. So Rs. 25000/- is refunded by IT department with interest. Now the problem is what accounting entry is to be passed for Rs. 25000/- which is a excess provision? Whether it should be debited to provision for taxes account or it should be taken as income.
