Trading A/c is a nominal account. rules are Dr all expenses and credit all income. so on the debit side we write To and on the credit side we write By.

Golden rules of accounting.

1) Debit the receiver, Credit the giver - personal account

2) Debit what comes in, Credit what goes out - Real account

3) Debit the expenses and losses, Credit the Gains and Income - Nominal. Account.
