8. Accounts Receivable and Revenues
1. Read the article and discuss What is accounts receivable?
Accounts receivable is the balance owed to the entity by its customers in respect of sale of goods and services on credit.
Accounting for Receivables
Credit Sale
As credit sale results in increase in the income (sale revenue) and assets (receivable) of the entity, assets must be debited whereas income must be credited.
In case of a credit sale, the following double entry is recorded:
Debit |
Receivable |
Credit |
Sales Revenue (Income Statement) |
The double entry is same as in the case of a cash sale, except that a different asset account is debited (i.e. receivable).
When the receivable pays his due, the receivable balance will have be reduced to nil. The following double entry is recorded:
Debit |
Cash |
Credit |
Recievable |
Sales Tax
When a credit sale involves the application of sales tax, the receivable balance includes the amount of sales tax since it will be recovered from the customer. Sales is recorded net of sales tax because any sales tax received on the sales will be returned to tax authorities and hence, does not form part of income. Sales tax account is credited since this is the amount of tax payable that will be paid to tax authorities.
The accounting entry to record a credit sale involving sales tax will therefore be as follows:
Debit |
Receivable (Gross Amount) |
Debit |
Sales (Net Amount) |
Credit |
Sales Tax (Payable) (Net Amount) |
Subsequent receipt of dues from the customer will result in the following double entry:
When the receivable pays his due, the receivable balance will have be reduced to nil. The following double entry is recorded:
Debit |
Cash (Gross Amount) |
Credit |
Receivable (Gross Amount) |
