In my firm for the F.Y. 09-10, i had paid advance tax of Rs. 60000 in dec'09, but at thr year end my tax liabiity comes out to Rs. 55000, TDs deducted by others on my income is RS. 20000, so at the year end position was that tax liability was Rs.55000, and tax to be adjusted against it was Rs. 80000(60000+20000), now i recd the refund of Rs. 25000, what will be the accounting entry??In my b/s advance tax and TDs are standing in the loans and advances side. No provision a/c was created as there was no liability. Please explain me the accounting entry.

ya we had not credited as at that time there was no need to create any provision for tax as advance tax was already paid which was more than the tax liability??

It will be a PL item but it will not be treated as an expense. So while calculating the current years tax liability, this figure will be added back.
