Hi, it is not necessary for u to issue any voucher as u r just doing labour work unless and until ur turnover exceeds Rs. 40 lacs in which case tax audit will be applicable and u need to maintain proper books of accounts. turnover here meanslabour chgs. upto p.y 2009-10 u need not chg. service tax if ur turnover does not exceed Rs. 8 lacs. From 2010-11, it is raised to 10 lacs. no entry will be passed when u receive gold as it does not belong to u. however, d same can be recorded in memorandum books. when the labour chgs become due, pass d entry- Party A/C Dr. XX To Labour Chgs A/C XX when the same is paid by the party, pass the entry - Cash / Bank A/c Dr. XX To party A/c XX Take the help of a CA to decide about whether u need to form a co. or not. These points can not be decided on the basis of our reply as we don't know all the practical issues of a particular case. In case u hv any further doubt, revert back to me.
