17 November 2011 We are selling electricals goods.. often we need to give free samples to various dealers/architech etc., we are raising an invoice for Re.1 and send the material as we cannot raised 0 value invoice..

Here ny question is since all these activities are to cover the market and increase our sales.. It is nothing but advertisment and promotion... Hence should we charge those cost of the material (which was given as free sample) into Sales promotion expenditure??

If you have any other view please explain..

Thanks in advance..
