For transferring profit from a branch to the head office (HO), the accounting entry depends on whether the branch is a dependent branch or a separate entity/independent branch.
Typical Accounting Entry for Profit Transfer from Branch to Head Office:
When Branch Profit is transferred to HO:
Journal Entry:
Particulars Debit (Dr) Credit (Cr)
Branch Profit Account (or Branch Account) Dr. (Profit amount)
To Head Office Account Cr. (Profit amount)
This entry transfers the profit earned by the branch to the Head Office account.
The Branch Profit Account is debited to close the branch profit, and the Head Office Account is credited because the profit belongs to HO.
Explanation:
The Branch Profit Account holds the net profit or loss of the branch.
Once the profit is finalized, it’s transferred to the HO by this entry.
In the HO books, this amount increases the overall income or capital.
