Is provision mandatory under section 43b?

Tax queries 525 views 3 replies

Hello All,

Assessee is following accrual basis for accounting. In A.Y. 2015-16 it has paid Entry tax for Assessment years 2011-12,12-13 and 13-14. As these amounts were not known in previous years no provision was made in books. Now as per section 43B it should be allowed on payment basis. Is it mandatory to make provision in prior years to claim dedcution now? Can assessee claim entire entry tax amount in assessment year 2015-16 even if no provision was made in books in earlier years? Please reply.

In my opinion the same will be allowed. Though in terms of accrual basis there is a departure from the normal norms, under income tax since entry tax is allowed on payment basis the same might be claimed.
