We are two wheeler company. This year we had sold some Fixed assets on which profit and loss is incurred.

10 January 2013 After reducing the depreciation (till the date of sale) from the value of your Fixed Asset (individually) you will get the value as on the date of sale. Now the difference between sale proceeds and the value determined by you is the profit or loss on sale of fixed asset. If you have a profit, credit to your PL a/c and pay tax on the same or if its a loss then you need to debit to PL and your tax liability would reduce with the same amount.
