company which tells the company about how much money it owes to pay to the
legal authorities. This includes the specific part from whatever the company or
an individual earns which is more than the amount that is liable for taxation. The
ways of doing tax accounting are multiple now, ranging from the methods of
accounting to the use of tools for accounting. Among these ways there are two

on the amount which has been received by the company in respective year. This
method is mainly suitable for the individual businessmen, who have limited
income resources and who deal in cash mostly.
