Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting entries required when a creditor returns goods, affecting both the Head Office (HO) and Branch accounts. It explains how to reverse the original entry and provides specific examples for various transactions, including goods sent to the branch, goods returned by the branch, remittances, and sales (both cash and credit). The advice also touches upon the tax implications and legalities of such transactions, particularly when sales are recognised at the HO level but the branch handles the debit note.

Who is the creditor? Head office?

Reverse the original entry.

Sir,same creditor otta clothing Ltd maintain in HO Hosur,and branch at Tumkur..Books of accounts different local tax and igst there..due to certain issues returned goods less )debit note raised for behalf on of HO from branch ...

If the HO had recognised sales in HO and wanted branch to deal with debit note to save taxes, I think the law will prohibit such transactions.
