09 July 2013 I want to know the accounting treatment(Journal entry) for Sales promotion expense. Gift issued to customer in the event of aadi/diwali bumper sale.
And Credit of VAT availble on purchase of gift items. Can purchase of Gift such as TV,kitchen appliances, Home appliances,phones treated as FA.

I have a confusion on it. give me your views


10 July 2013 whatever gift issued to customers mark them as "sales promotion expenses" and directly debit to profit & loss account.

no credit is available on the same, since it is consumed by you. and for consumer no credit is available.

whatever gift you have given, since physically you dont have, cant mark them as fixed assets.
