05 August 2011 I had a basic query which i am posting through an example:
1. provision for tax : 2300000
2. advance tax paid/tds : 2280000
3. refund for the assessment year recieved : (118510)

What amount should be transferred to p/l a/c i.e. only the amount charged earlier as provision to tax or the former including the refund amount or the net amount i.e. amount net of tds/advance tax along with the refund.
It will be great if the entry and effect is also provided
Thank you
