At the time of Sale, following entry would have been passed:
Party A/c Dr. 1050
To Sales 1000
To VAT payable 50
At the time of payment of VAT, following entry would have been passed:
VAT Payable A/c Dr. 50
To Bank 50
At the time of receipt of money from customer:
Bank A/c Dr. 1000
To Party A/c 1000.
Thus, we should understand that the amount which has not been collected pertains to the uncollected debtors. The liability for VAT is yours to pay and not that of the customer.
You may write your debtors off and the same will be allowed as an general expenditure (as rightly said by Tushar Ji). However, while going through the assessment, instances have occurred that the assessing officer tends to disallow the bad debts written off.
