- If there is no mention of Income tax paid in the Additional Information, it is assumed that opening balance of Provision for Taxation is paid during the year and closing balance of provision is created during the year
- If Income tax paid during the year is provided in the Additional Information, Provision for Taxation General Ledger is prepared plotting Opening balance, Closing balance and Income Tax Paid. The balancing figure on the credit side is the Provision created during the year.
