23 February 2013 Profit before Tax - 398,000/-
Add:-
Depreciation as per Companies Act - 10,000/-
Less:-
Depreciation as per Income Tax Act - 8,000/-

Profit Liable for Tax - 400,000/-

Journal Entry

Current Tax A/c Dr. 120,000/-
To Provision for Tax 120,000/-

Note:- Current Tax is a Indirect Tax Head.

Profit before tax means it is after deducted all expense except tax.

Hence Depreciation as per Companies Act already deducted while calculating PBT. hence for the purpose of taxable profit we have to add it back and depreciation as per income tax should be allow.
