30 September 2009 if company has opted composition scheme then it will be an expenses in profit and loss account otherwise it would be only a discharge of liability and after payment only that laibility willl be removed from balance sheet.

the entry would be in first case:-

sales tax Dr.
to cash

Profit and loss a/c Dr.
to sales tax

as sales tax has been paid then defferd sales tax will get reduced.

in second case the entry would be:-

deffered sales tax a/c Dr.
to cash

as above again deffered sales tax will get reduced.
