To address the issue of double TDS payment and manage it correctly in your accounting records, follow these steps:
### **1. Identifying the Issue**
You have made a TDS payment twice for the same income:
- **Original TDS Deducted:** In FY 2010-2011, TDS was deducted and deposited by ISS. - **Duplicate TDS Payment:** In FY 2011-2012, TDS was again deducted and paid by ISS on the same invoice.
### **2. Journal Entry for Double TDS Payment**
You need to adjust your books to account for the excess TDS payment. Here’s how you can handle this:
**For FPS (Income Booked):**
- **No action needed for FPS** since the TDS was correctly deducted and deposited in the previous year (2010-2011). Ensure that the income and TDS were correctly accounted for in FPS's records for that fiscal year.
**For ISS (Double TDS Payment):**
1. **Correcting the Excess TDS Payment:**
**Entry for Excess TDS Payment:** - **Debit:** TDS Receivable/Refund Account (for the excess amount) - **Credit:** Bank Account (for the actual excess payment made)
This entry records the excess amount as receivable, assuming you will either get a refund or adjust it against future liabilities.
2. **Claiming Refund from the Tax Authorities:**
**Filing a Refund Claim:**
- **Prepare a Refund Claim:** You need to file a TDS refund claim with the Income Tax Department. Generally, this is done by filing an application for refund along with a revised TDS return for the relevant period. - **Provide Form 16A:** Ensure that Form 16A is provided and reflects the correct TDS deductions. This document will be crucial when applying for a refund. - **Submit the Claim:** File the refund claim through the Income Tax e-filing portal or manually as per the guidelines.
**Steps to Claim a Refund:**
- **Visit the Income Tax e-Filing Portal:** Go to [Income Tax e-Filing Portal](https://incometax.gov.in/). - **Login:** Use your credentials to log in. - **Navigate to Refund Request:** Find the section for refund requests or correction of TDS. - **Provide Details:** Enter the required details, including the excess TDS payment and Form 16A. - **Submit Application:** Follow the instructions to submit your refund claim.
3. **Adjusting TDS in Future Returns:**
- **Future Returns Adjustment:** If a refund is not possible, adjust the excess TDS payment against future TDS liabilities of ISS. This can be done by reflecting the excess amount in the TDS return for the subsequent period.
### **Summary**
1. **Record the Excess Payment:** - Make a journal entry to reflect the excess TDS payment.
2. **Claim a Refund:** - File a refund claim with the Income Tax Department, providing necessary documents like Form 16A.
3. **Adjust Future Payments:** - If unable to get a refund, adjust the excess amount against future TDS liabilities.
### **Important Notes:**
- **Ensure Accuracy:** Double-check all calculations and documentation. - **Consult a Professional:** If needed, consult a tax professional or accountant to ensure compliance and proper handling of the refund process.
