According to the VAT sales return will be acceptable if the returns are done with in the reasonable time from the date of sale and then only credit of tax paid on such goods would be available. Generally reasonable time is 6 months. So first check is the period i.e 1-1-2012 to dd-10-2012 is in reasonable time according to your sate vat act then it will be allowable and credit of such tax paid available otherwise credit of such tax paid not available.
For my clarification and your confirmation i asking a question. You are saying invoice raised on 1-1-2012 i.e entry passed on 1-1-2012 is Pary a/c dr To sales a/c To Vat a/c(if any separately maintaining)
And also said 2 days later you canceled such invoice to cancel invoice entry is as follows on 3-1-2012 Sales a/c dr Vat a/c dr To party a/c (OR) Sales Returns a/c dr VAT or VAT input a/c dr To party a/c Note: sales returns will be show from the deduction of sales.
So if you passed any of the above entry then sales returns already adjusted and claimed. Then no question of adjustment now. If you differ with the above entries then please post which entries you made on the date of sale and for the cancellation of invoice.
