Nominal account is the correct answer.
Office expenses under Nominal account as it's an indirect expenses
Overhead concept is unabsorbed Overhead. nominal account is under golden rule of accountancy.

Dear Sourave Sarkar, 

Thanks for your reply.

Can you also educate me on following:

How can we record an advance receipt invoice with charging sales tax in accounts ?


For Example:

We have to raise an advance receipt invoice of RS. 100, 000 at rate of 10% sales tax to our clint on 1-8-23; how we will record it in accounts.

Further, please also educate that when advance payment against this invoice will receive on next day; how we will record it in accounts too ?

It is requested to please share journal entries of both cases.

Have you actually received 1,10,000 ? , on 1/8/23 in your company Bank account, and then you issued Advance receipt against advance received please Clerify.
Dear Parsad Nilugal Sir,

we issued 1st advance receipt invoice and after 3 or 4 days we received advance payment cheque from customer.
How sales tax has been charged @ 10% ?, when GST is applicable at present for selling goods or providing services.

Dear Nilugal Parsad Sir,

1took 10% ST just for conveniance so that figure can be calculated easily.

My actual purpose is to get knowledge about that how can we record advance invoice and it's payment in accounting.

Advance given is an current asset

Dr. Advance towards rent

Cr. Bank

Then when the time expires and advance is used up

Cr. Rent expense 

Dr. Advance towards rent.

This is if the money is significant. We can leave off insignificant amounts like fast tag. Fast tag is an advance paid for toll gate. As long as you know that your business is a going concern, you can say it is a payment. When your company is dissolving and if you paid 1000 without using it the

Dr. Advance for fast tag 

Cr. Fast tag payment

and write it as an operating loss

Dr. Write off advance for fast tag

Cr. Advance for fast tag.

Another way is directly write it off from the first entry as

Dr. Fast tag advance write off

Cr. Advance for fast tag
