Salary to the employee comes under expense or liabilty to the co? how?..

Answer / bharathi

When company paid salary to the employees it should be
treated as indirect expenses it will reflect in profit and
loss account.

The following entries to be passed in the books

Salary A/c
To Cash A/c

When Company not paid (to be paid) to the employees then it
should be treated as liability (because company has to pay
the salary to the employees - so it should be treated as
liability) it will reflect in Balance Sheet under the
coloumn Current Liabilities.

The Following entries to be passed in the books

Salary A/C dr (P&l a/c)
To Salary Payable A/c ( liability a/c)
(provision made for salary)

Once salary paid to the employees then the following entry
to be passed

Salary Payable A/c Dr.
To Cash/ Bank A/c

(Now the liability is nil) (provision which we have made is
cleared now)

Answer / anonymous

If Salary is of current year then we will treat it as
expense and entry will be:
P & L A/c Dr.
To Salary A/c

and then you transfer this amount to the payable account (it
means Ist u r creating liability and then doing payment) by
making entry:
Salary A/c Dr.
To Salary Payable A/c

and when you paid the salary then entry would be:
Salary Payable A/c Dr.
To Bank or Cash A/c


If you want to create laibility then entry is:
Salary A/c Dr.
To Outstanding Salary A/c

Transferring salary in payable or outstanding A/c means you
creating your liability whose entry already mentioned above.

Answer / moumita

While making the salary we pass 2 entries

1.Salary A/C ---Dr
To Salary payable A/c

2. Salary payable -- Dr

The above mentioned entries does not include PTax, and PF Portion. PTax and Employer's contribution to PF are considered as expenses to the company and on other hand Employee's contribution to PF is a Liability
