Gst entry for the purchase of new cell phone

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

When purchasing a new mobile phone with GST, a discount offered via a credit note means the GST can be booked and reversed for the discounted amount. The phone should be treated as a fixed asset, and you can claim depreciation on its value, excluding the GST. The discount itself should be written off as an expense.
