    this is an add back , a dis-allowable expense for taxation hence should be to the salary control as non salary cash benefit/expense

    wagacira1: Tax is completely irrelevant for Paper F3!

    sarveshphrboy:

    If it has been paid then Credit cash; Debit Directors remuneration expense
    It (as is more likely) it has not yet been paid, then Credit Directors current accounts (which is a current liability); Debit Directors remuneration expense.

    As Sir John Moffat said,
    Dr Remuneration Expense
    Cr Cash

    If the question specifically says that it was declared earlier and now it has been paid, then the first entry at the time of declaration would be:
    Dr Remuneration Expense
    Cr Bonus Payable to Directors
    Second entry when cash is actually paid would be:
    Dr Bonus Payable to Directors
    Cr Cash
