I want to know about accounting treatment of octroi & freight Expenses (O & F Exp.) on following cases :
1. Expense paid by us on Purchase of Goods & such expenses added in Purchase Invoice. :- Can I consider as direct exp. or Including in Purchase amount?
2. Whenever Goods sold to Debtors, issue Sales Invoice & in such invoice added O & F Expenses which was paid by Debtors. :- such exp. include either in sales A/c or less from O & F Exp.(which showing in P&L A/c)
Note:- Not levy VAT on O & F Exp. in both case Goods Purchase & Sales.
What if VAT levied on O & F Exp., in this case your suggestion will changes.

01. If the Octroi and Freight are included in Purchase Invoice, it will go to Purchase Account. 02. For sales, use CONSERVATIVE principle. Say INR 100 sale price + Octroi 2 + VAT 5(On 100)=107 Debit Customer A/c 107 Credit Sales 100 Credit Octroi Receivable 2 Credit Vat Collected 5
