These taxes are indirect taxes, hence if tax paid on purchase or expense you will get credit of it if allowable as well as taxes collected on sales must be payable to concern tax authority hence tax on purchase/ expenses will Dr to receivable a/c under duties and taxes and tax on sales will Cr to payable a/c under duties & taxes. If balance of duties and taxes is Cr. then you have to paid tax as per Cr. amount if balance is Dr. then this amount will transfer to receivable account under Loan & Advances.
My explanation tells that there is no effect in P&L account
In the case of disallowances for set off then such disallowed amount should be transfer to P & L account.

If you are not claiming any Input Credit in respect of above (CENVAT), you can show them as expenses and debit the same in P&L A/c
IF claiming Input Credit, nothing shown in P& L A/c , Accounting should be done as Balance sheet Item
How to present as per Income Tax act refer here

Statutory payments are not business expenses, so u can't show it in P & L Account. Create Payable A/c. and when u pay the Tax Debit Payable A/c. and so on.

Small Clarification in Shaji Balan Post
Its the statutory payments collected from Customers or clients, Output taxes we can say, not all statutory payments
