Quick Summary

This discussion explains how to create journal entries for writing off trade receivables and trade payables. For trade receivables, the entry involves debiting bad debts and crediting trade receivables. For trade payables, it's typically a debit to trade payables and a credit to other income, treating the unpaid amount as income. The conversation also clarifies that GST should not be reversed in both cases, but only the Input Tax Credit (ITC) claimed on trade payables needs reversal.
