16 June 2010 if prov for tax and advance tax amounts are the same, and after finalization we find that there is a tax liability, what entry is to be passed considering that the assessment order is passed w/o any change.
for eg.
prov.for tax 30000
adv.tax 30000
self assmt tax 5000

Alternatively,

Self Asst Tax Dr. 5000
Bank Cr. 5000

P & L Account Appr A/c Dr. 5000
Provision for Taxation Dr. 30000
Self Asst Tax Cr. 5000
Advance Tax Cr. 30000

16 June 2010 Dear Nitin,

just find how does the provision for taxation(Rs. 30000) in your query was created. You shall get to know, What do I mean by P&L Appr. A/c.

The provision was created by passing the following Entry:

P & L A/c Dr. 30000
Prov. for tax Cr. 30000
