Question 7. Why is the Trial Balance Step Important and if discrepancies are found between debits and credits what errors will occur?

Mara from Canada

Answer : Mara! Not only trial balance but every thing's steps are important. For example, I am teaching you online. For this, I should know the steps to teach online. If you want to make trial balance, it is must you know the steps to make trial balance and without following this, you will not make correct trial balance. Suppose, one of trial balance step is to know the nature of account before debiting or crediting in trial balance. Suppose, we have to show total sales account's balance in trial balance. If we do not know the nature of this account, we will write this account's balance in the debit side of trial balance. This will become the error of principle. Remember, total sales represent total revenue and all the total revenue will be credit and its balance will be also shown in the credit side of trial balance. If there is difference between debit and credit side of trial balance, it means some mathematical errors which you have to find before making final accounts.

Question 10. Entry of audit fees including service tax, can i use service tax input credit, please
detail accounting treatment with date


audit fees=100000
service tax=10300
total=110300

Dhananjay from India

Answer : Dhananjay! You have asked good question. Yes, you can use service tax input, if you use services for output services. For example, you take the service of other CA and pays audit fees. Now, you provide same service to other client as output service. At that time, you can get input service tax credit before paying net amount of service tax in Govt. Account. One more condition will apply on manufacturing organisation. If they use service in production, then they get service tax input for paying net excise duty. For more detail, you should learn CENVAT Credit Rule 2004 and its Rule 4 (7). In this, there is clear words,

"Credit of input services can be availed only after the output service provider make payment of value of input service and service tax payable. In other words, payment of only service tax will not do."

Entry will be

If  you have paid audit fees

Audit fees 100000

Service Tax Account 10300

Bank Account 110300

If you are service provider

a) When amount is receivable

Customer Account Dr. 110300

Audit Fees Account Cr. 100000

Service Tax payable Account Cr. 10

b)  Bank Account Dr. 110300

Customer Account Cr. 110300

c) When you will pay service tax

Service Tax payable Account Dr. 10300

Bank Account Cr. 10300
