If they have done it simply like this,
Dr. Bank
Cr. GST
Cr. Sales
then calculate how many days you have kept the asset in Held for Sale classification, take out depreciation, derecognise asset, recognise gail or loss on sale and finally, derognise any liabilities associated with the asset. Or better, use prior period adjustments and reverse he sale and tax consequences. Then redo the sale transaction leaving a disclosure.

If asset is sold for100 with dismantling liability of 10 included in it + gain 10 included + 10 tax additionally paid over the sale.
Dr. Bank 100
Dr. Dismantling liability 10
Cr. asset 100
Cr. Gain 10
This would be the normal sale entry. So you must have posted it like
Dr. Bank 100
To Sale 100.
so reverse this entry by reducing opening Retained earning by 100 and make adjustments for tax as per the provisions.
Dr. Retained earnings
Cr. Bank
Then post the first entries. This is complex and make disclosures.

This is because I heard ERP software's don't allow changes once accounting period is closed. If you can make changes in the software then post rectification entries during last year itself and no need for the above process.

Eswar Reddy's answer is easier. I was just expounding the whole transaction for your idea and this transaction doesn't have to incorporate gain into it. I think there are other treatments.
