1. While recording local purchase you can pass

Dr Purchases A/c

Dr Input VAT A/c

Cr Creditor A/c

2. While recording local sales you can pass

Dr Debtor A/c

Cr Sales A/c

Cr Output VAT A/c

3. While adjusting Output vat against Input vat (incase of VAT payable)

Dr Output VAT A/c

Cr Input VAT A/c

Cr VAT payable A/c

4. While adjusting ITC against CST (incase of excess input tax credit available)

Dr CST A/c

Cr Input VAT A/c

Hope this will help you..

With regards,

Dear Subramanya sir,

what entry wil be passed (for vat adjustment) in case when INPUT is higher than OUT PUT VAT

FOR EXAMPLE:-

INPUT VAT 16500

OUTPUT VAT 14620

Hi Jitu,

Incase of excess Input credit available during a return period, you need to pass an adjustement entry to the extent of Output VAT available.

In your case, Pass a normal journal adjustement entry as given below :

Dr Output VAT 14620
Cr Input VAT 14620

Once above entry is passed, the difference amount (16500 - 14620) will remain available in Input vat ledger and will show as Carried forward to next period.

Please check and revert incase of any clarification.

With regards,
Subramanya
