CT tax accrued in prev year

CT tax accrued in prev year

Didn't find your answer?

I have a large amount of CT accrued on the balance sheet which was over estimated in previous years, there is no tax liability for the current year. Can I make a journal against the retained profit to correct?

Credit
You should credit the over-provision to the same account - presumably, the P&L tax charge - to which you posted the debit in previous years. It is not an adjustment to retained profits brought forward, but a tax credit for the current year.
