    Hi Dear Tutor,when we make the statement of the financial position
    There is a tax charge in the notes say for example 20000
    In addition,in trial balance is showed for example
    Trial balance———-cr——–dr
    10% loan note—-100000

    Interest expense————-5000

    We see interest is shown 5000 but it should be 10000.

    We recognise 20000 tax charge in the pl and we calculate loan note interest and rexcognise extra 5000 in the p/l besides 5000 interest.
    Under current liability
    Tax accrual—20000
    Accrual interest payable-5000
    Why we recognise tax charge and interest expense as accrual in the sofp?

    If the tax for the year has not been paid then it is recorded as owing in the SOFP.

    Similarly 5,000 of interest has not been paid and so is recorded as owing in the SOFP.

    In the SOPL we record the expense for the year, whether otherwise not it has all been paid.
