When Firm A sells goods but payment is mistakenly received in Firm B, the sale and GST remain in Firm A. Firm B should record the amount as received on behalf of Firm A through an inter-firm/current account and transfer the funds to Firm A with proper accounting entries.

07 June 2026 Sir / madam ...we have two firms A & B ...
We sold goods from firm A to party and party credited amount to our firm B , how to handle this and what will be entries ?

07 June 2026 Since the goods were sold by Firm A, the sale and GST liability will remain in Firm A. The amount received in Firm B should be treated as money received on behalf of Firm A and credited to an Inter-firm Account/Current Account. Thereafter, transfer the funds from Firm B to Firm A through proper journal entries.
