Respected All,  

For e.g. I am registered dealer with DVAT since 25 years deals in ItemNo1 as trader.  

Now I would like to sell Item no2. Online through Amazon or else, does I required fresh TIN/VAT registration or I can do this with my old tin.  

prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks 

Regards

Deepak Sharma

I have Attached a Sample of a Commision Invoice. Please Check and Let me know. In Details

Hi,

It's very simple. At the end of the month you get invoice from Amazon, Flipkart. Now to enter those into accouning do this> 

Create an account called Flipkart Charges & Expenses under 'direct expense'

Now once you receive the monthly invoice (say for example totalling Rs. 20,000), you pass the following journel entry

Flipkart Charges & Expenses Dr. 20,000
Flipkart Sales (sundry debtors) Cr. 20,000

Explaination : That invoice you have received, contains the charges that marketplace has already deducted from your remittances. So that's why you credit it to the sales account. Don't need to create different accounts for Shipping charges, Fixed fee etc as it doesn't serve any purpose.

-----

Having said that, accounting will be a little different if you are running advertisements for which you recharged in the advanced. It will be as follows:

  • When you are recharging your advertising account at the marketplace:
    Create an account called Flipkart Advertisement advances under Loans & advances (assets) 
    Payment entry will be

    Flipkart advertisement advances Dr. Rs. 5000
    Bank Account Cr. Rs. 5000
     
  • When you recive your monthly invoice from the marketplace which mentions the advertising consumtion (e g Rs. 2000). This is how you will pass the journel entry.

    Flipkart Charges & Expenses Dr. 20,000
    Flipkart advertisement advances Cr. 2,000
    Flipkart Sales (Sundry debtors) Cr. 18,000

Correct me if I'm wrong.

This is correct. But for commissions and courier charges, instead of doing them per transaction basis, do it montly basis only. Per transaction basis makes the whole thing very very messy once you start accounting for return, refunds etc. I do per transaction basis because I have written my own software which takes care of everything.
