In accounting, when you record a sales voucher for a transaction involving a credit card, you typically need to classify the credit card account under the appropriate head to accurately reflect the transaction. Here’s how you should handle this:
### 1. **Classification of JK Bank Credit Card Account**
**Nature of Account:**
- The **JK Bank Credit Card Account** would generally be classified under **"Current Liabilities"** or **"Credit Card Payables"** in the chart of accounts.
**Explanation:**
- **Credit Card Payables**: This represents the amount due to the credit card company for transactions made using the credit card. Since it’s a liability that needs to be settled, it falls under current liabilities.
### 2. **Accounting Entries**
When you make a sale and receive payment via a credit card, the accounting entries typically look like this:
- **Dr (Debit)**: **Sales/Accounts Receivable** (To record the revenue from the sale)
- **Cr (Credit)**: **Credit Card Receivable/Payable** (To record the amount receivable from the credit card company)
Here’s an example journal entry:
- **Debit**: **Sales** (for the amount of sale)
- **Credit**: **JK Bank Credit Card Account** (for the same amount, reflecting the liability to the credit card company)
### Summary:
- **JK Bank Credit Card Account** is a **Current Liability** or **Credit Card Payable** in your accounting records.
- **Sales** is credited to recognize the revenue from the sale.
- **JK Bank Credit Card Account** is credited to show the amount payable to the credit card company.
This classification ensures that your financial statements accurately reflect the company's liabilities and income from sales transactions.
