Accounting scrap sale in Job work.

1187 views 5 replies
We know scrap generated during job work can be sold either by principal or by Job worker(registered).

Scenario 1:
if job worker sells the scrap, keeps the entire consideration(as agreed) after paying GST then

1. Will principal have to pay GST on outward supply of scrap to job worker?

2. Job worker agrees to provide credit note to principal.
Is GST to be paid by principal on scrap component?

3. Job work charges are reduced to the extent of scrap value when consideration is with job worker.
Again, is GST to be paid by principal?


All in all how should valuation of job work charge be done wrt scrap. how to account for credit note.

=============
Scenario 2:
If principal sells scrap from Job worker site, collects the basic+gst then should he follow cost accounting principles and adjust cost of production.

Eg.

100/- Raw Material sent to JW
20/- worth RM went in Scrap.
80/- Effective RM in use

Job work charges 40/-
Scrap value salvaged 10(basic)+2(GST)/-

cost of goods returned
80+40-10 = 110

So is it ok to factor scrap value to units produced.

or should I show it under income from scrap in P&L.

Also, if entire consideration is with job worker then should I follow cost accounting to factor scrap value in cost of unit produced.

Ideally, scrap generated should be sold by job worker. You should work out a lesser rate for job work by taking into account the benefits arising to the job worker from sale of scrap.

You would be able to get fixed job work per unit costs as the wastage would be managed by job worker based on your agreed estimated scrap percentage


The cost and financial accounting would also get simple.

Thanks. but I feel response is inadequate. all experts so far keeps talking about what act is by referring same text as in notification but are not able to provide details like accounting treatment.
Chirag appreciate your concern . Pls send details at admin @ easyaccountingaudittax.co.in
The details are in the thread.

Can you give an example?

 

As per the judgements if job worker retains the proceeds of the scrap after job work then the proceeds are additional consideration apart from transaction value.

Ex. 10,000 is job charges(transaction value) of job work but scrap worth 2000 is generated and left with job worker then 10,000 + 2000 will be total job charges as per judgements. 

But in my opinion

10,000 + GST should be job charges from which 2000(basic value w/o GST) scrap value should be set off. Is it valid or invalid.
