Payment of Import Purchase

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses how to handle a discrepancy between the amount paid for an import purchase and the value stated on the Bill of Entry (BOE). The user paid £9,75,000 (converted to INR) for a purchase valued at £10,00,000 on the BOE. The core issue is adjusting the £25,000 difference. The consensus is to account for the difference as a foreign exchange gain or loss in the Profit & Loss account, which is permissible under income tax regulations and taxable.

13 August 2021 No need for any adjustments, account what is paid for supply.
BOE value is for customs duty purpose only.
