What will be the entries for income tax due and payable?



I just want to know which account to debit and credit for the income tax due and payable.

Income tax Payable is a liability... you increase a liability with a credit. The opposite entry is the income tax expense. You increase expenses with debits.

Income Tax Expense
Income Tax Payable

If you're talking about income tax due meaning it's a receivable.. its about the exact opposite with another account name.

Income tax Receivable
Retained earnings... (you can't really credit expenses...)
