What is the tax treatment for bad debts?
If your business accounting system is on accrual basis, you can claim a deduction in your tax return to claim any bad debts so that you don't pay tax on the income you didn't actually end up receiving. This can only be done after you have taken all the necessary steps to get the money owed to you. If your business accounting system in on cash basis you wouldn't have declared the debt previously as income so nothing is affected, no deduction needs to be made.
