WHT on Accured Income

[aliali]

It is clear ,that WHT liability would be account for only at the time of payment to party(<b>sec 153),</b>and not on accrual basis.

Does same rule apply to Income earned but not received?,,we pay tax on our income instead of profit & loss account(<b>performance of contract i.e. 6% of income</b>),if we donot account for "WHT on income" of <b>june 09</b>,we must pay <b>tax in cash/bank </b> with annual return,(because june-09 WHT willnot adjust,while calculating our tax)
R/A from contractor-DR
Mobilization Adv----DR
Retention money-----DR
<b>WHT on june-09---DR</b>
Contarct Income-----CR(not yet received)

is this entry true on 30-06-09

Dear,
It seems that you are concerned with section 153, rectify me ?
However, (if not concerned with the above)
As per sub section 3 , Division IV of the ordinance "A company shall account for income chargeable to tax under the head “Income from Business” on an accrual basis, while other persons may account for such income on a cash or accrual basis".

It clearly mentions that a company is having mandatory requirement to account for on accrual basis while it is optional for others to use either cash or accrual basis of accounting.
In my opinion, this must have solved your subsequent problems, that have been asked by you.

Also, What does it mean, "we pay tax on our income instead of profit & loss account"?,

Which enteries are correct from both cases?

[faisal_desperado]

Dear,
Regardless of my previous reply,
If payment is to be made after 2 months then Under case 1 , option 2 is correct and Under Case 2, option 1 is correct.
Now a question may arise from your side that how would WHT be adjusted under both of the cases , remember , practically under these cases, on these transactions, WHT is adjusted in the return of the next Tax Year.
However, under case 1,regardless of the provisions of Law, option 1 is also correct, since deduction is certain and payment of WHT may be made after transacton has been taken place, Under case 2 deduction is not certain and not likely to be occurred, so WHT - Debit, is not seems to be logical, furthermore, this alternative will fail, should the goods are returned to supplier,( or by custmer)
hence, to adjust WHT in the next year is more feasible.
