Actually Input and output both will come under Duties and Taxes. which is the right way to maintain. here they telling as per CA requirements all are maintaining keep as it is.

Input can be taken in expenses if ITC not available. However output tax always becomes part of liability. It cannot be taken as Direct Income as it will also be violation of AS-9 and also corresponding IND-AS which deals with revenue recognition

If ITC is eligible and have not been claimed then they have been booked under expenses. You also need to check the GST returns as to how they are being filed. As a principle claim of ITC is optional. It is a right which can be exercised or forgone
