07 August 2015 we r seller & we entered wrong tax in two party One party actual tax 13.5% we entered 3%

other party Actual tax 1 % We entered 5%

So what we give these co debit note or credit note plz clear me

07 August 2015 You are seller.
So the customer is YOUR debtor.
The debtor is indebted to you.
Inadvertantly you debited debtor's account with 3 % in place of 13.5 %.
So? You need to debit debtor's account by this shortfall of 13.5 - 3 = 10.5%

So you will write a letter to the debtor about your error. This letter in commerce parlour will be called as Debit Note raised by seller.OK?

Please try out the other one by yourself
