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.
