In my opinion the liability(Accounts Payable/Sundry Creditor) will be written back and reflected as other income in P&L without affecting the Fixed Assets which was already accounted when the FA was purchased.
1)FA Dr 4.5 To Sundry Creditors 4.5
2)Sundry Cr Dr 4.5 To Other Income 4.5 This amount becomes taxable,however the depreciation on FA is allowable deduction in computing taxable income.
