21 July 2009Can Cash discount & trade discount both be taken to reduce the sales value?
If cash discount is shown as an indirect expense in the books, can it be taken to reduce the sales value?
If cash discount which is recorded after recording sales for the month, can it be taken to reduce the sales value?

Discount allowed is deductible from sales (taxable turnover) as per rule 3(2)(c) of the Karnataka Value Added tax rules, 2005. However the tax collected on sales shall be payable to the department and cannot be reduced to the extent of cash discount deductible.
Further it is important to note that VAT is not reversable on the discounts allowed in the form of debit / credit notes as stated in provisio to rule 3(2) of the Karnataka VAT Rules, 2005.
Please feel free to revert with your comments.
