For example if you are suppose to receive
professional fees from your claint,after deduction TDS on professional fees .

Trade Debtors A/c Dr
To Professional fees A/c
( fees receivable)

Fees receipt entry after TDS deduction by Client.

Bank A/c Dr
TDS on professional fees A/c Dr
To Trade Debtors A/c Cr

So TDS on professional fees A/c will be under Advances, Current Asset, Balance sheet.

Please educate me that we normally generate an account which named Loan and Advances. In this account we record loan and advance to staff.

Does this TDS deduction will go under this account or we have to generate another advances account ?

if another account require to generate, what name should we give to this account?

I would like to ask you about procedure of adjustment of TDS deduction at the end of fiscal year.

When a client withholds income tax (TDS), it is typically recorded in a separate account called "TDS Receivable" or "TDS Payable." This account represents the amount of tax withheld by the client on behalf of the taxpayer.

As for the financial statements, the TDS account will be recorded on the balance sheet (BS) as either an asset or a liability, depending on whether the taxpayer is entitled to receive a refund or owes additional tax. It is not recorded on the profit and loss statement (P&L) since it represents a tax liability or an advance payment of tax rather than an expense or revenue item.

Yes , You have to deduct all Advance tax paid , TDS deducted by client , Self Assessment Tax paid ( if any ) , while paying the Income Tax assess by the Income tax department in the assessment year . . if you refer ITR2 , ITR3 , ITR4 , ITR6 you will find all these adjustments at the end .

Following manner you have account

So you do not know how much income tax payable to Govt on 31. st march , therefore you have make provision for Income tax on 31st march .

profit & Loss A/c Dr

To provision for Income Tax A/c Cr

( provision for income tax )

also Any Advance tax paid , TDS deducted by client ( as above ) , you have carried forward to next F.Y .

After assessment in the next year , pass adjustment entries as follows

provision for Income Tax A/c Dr

To Advance Tax A/c Cr

To TDS deducted A/c Cr

To income Tax payable A/c Cr

( income tax payable after adjustments )

Income tax payable A/c Dr

To Bank A/c Cr

( Income tax for last F.Y paid )

Confirm with company CA as well .
