If the firm paid A's personal income-tax liability of ₹13,000, how should this be accounted for in the books of the firm?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Debit to A's drawings

Personal income tax is a partner's personal liability, not a firm expense. When the firm pays a partner's personal expense, it is treated as that partner's drawings — i.e., Debit Drawings A/c and Credit Bank/Cash. Option B is wrong because it treats the payment as a business expense; option C is incorrect because the Profit & Loss Appropriation Account deals with profit distribution, not personal liabilities; option D is incorrect in sign and treatment. Exam tip: Always record payments of a partner's personal expenses by the firm as drawings (Debit Drawings, Credit Bank).
