Input VAT, Excise Duty, Service Tax (i.e. on Purchase of
goods or services) under 'Current Assets, Loans & Advances'
- These are assets and can be set-off against payable.

Output VAT, Excise Duty, Service (i.e. on Sales or on
service income) under 'Current Liabilities & Provisions' -
These are liabilities and payable to the respective
government department after setting off the Input Credit.

Answer / h.r. sreepada bhagi

'Duties & Taxes' is a Profit & Loss A/c account head & all
the A/cs mentioned in the question are related to Balance Sheet.

Get to the basics of Accounting, Any tax collected is
payable to the Government & so should come under Current
Liabilities and any tax charged in the bills for purchase of
goods & services is an asset if the concerned law entitles
the purchaser to Tax Credit. In the period end balance
sheet, Excess of Input Credit over tax payable shall be
shown under 'Current Assets, Loans & Advances' and excess of
Taxes collected over input tax credit should be shown under
'Current Liabilities & provisions'.

Answer / raman biswas

actually there are two types of method to maintain our accounts
1st is account only
2nd is account with inventory
when we do account only then generally we put input vat as current assets which means we had purchased or received vat which we had to pay to government.
as like as out put vat is a current liabilities which we have to pay to government

but we also put both of them in duties and taxes because this is a duty to pay.(this is generally used when we maintain accounts with inventory)

thankyou all of you
