What are the ways via which cost's could be showed to lower the bracket of the firm or partners.'

Transportation charges paid by the firm for delivering goods to consignee can be charged to P&L A/c. Further any petrol bill related to firm can be take in the name of the firm. Other overheads may be salary, telephone expeses, stationary and printing etc. can be debited in P&L a/c and only on the balance profit tax liabilities has to be calculated.
