26 August 2014 We have a client & the same is recording discount on Previous years Sale in this year due to the fact that approval is received in the current year.....

My question is that if the same would be allowed in the current year as per Accounting Standard & Income tax act point of View ?

Thanks & Regards

27 August 2014 Yes, this can be accounted as current year cost in accounts. However, if it is specifically termed as Discount for previous year sale, Income tax officer may litigate on this.
Hence, instead of disclosing the same as discount for last year, you can term it as additional discount given in the current year considering the performance of the last year.

27 August 2014 Instead of adjusting it to previous year invoice, you adjust it to the appropriate oldest outstanding invoice in current year so that it will be discount for current year and debtors aging will also come down.
