I think you are maintaining books the best way. Enter every information from the proprietor.

For reducing tax burden, you can show general expenses related to your client's business.

If you can provide the business in which your client is, I can easily give you suggestions.

Send me a private message, if you do not want to disclose here.

As an accountant you should have accounted genuine entries and paid tax if any. You got convinced by your client to reduce tax BURDEN. You should have convinced him to pay tax LIABILITY and enjoy life hassle free.

Now whether to show fictitious expenses or not, it is totally up to you on how well you can handle the income tax department.

I suggest what Gautam Sharma said, pay the tax and live life hassle free.

Yeah i am agree with both of you.. There is nothing big like evading of tax. I just meant to say that was some of the expenditures of which there is not any bill present.. One of the example is that there are two persons in staff and they are being paid salary in cash upto 12k.. Now how it should be recorded?? Likewise some of the other expenses of which no bill is present ....
