While making T account of TAX why we put Rvaluation reserve (tax) twice one on closing side which is understandable but why we also put on DR side of T account ? and why over proviion on cr side even it reduce our liability ?
July 28, 2021 at 10:20 pm #629709Hi,
I don’t quite follow your question on the revaluation. Could you highlight where you have seen this please?
On the over provision, we have paid to much in the prior year and so the credit represents the reduction we make to this years tax expense.
Thanks

THANKS
August 1, 2021 at 9:42 am #630009You’re over thinking it, but when the account is closed off we would then be debiting the account and crediting the profit or loss. A credit to profit or loss reduces the profits.
Thanks
