Accounting treatment for free samples

I am working as a Chief Accountant for a Trading Company in Tanzania, who are in the of  Spirits & Wines

( Dealers) in Tanzania. My company is issuing free samples to Hotels & Safari Companies for business promotion. We are using Tally ERP. The previous Accountants have booked the entries Debiting Marketing-Free Samples a/c and Crediting the Sales. I am not convinced with the entries. Hence I would like to know what is the correctreatment for free samples. I would be happy if any CA give his opinion on the treatment.

Sir as my view enable the feature in tally with zero rs. Entry and clear the stock with zero rs. Treat as free sample and book the sale with zero rs. Your main problem of stock is clear tax calculating according to your state and country law.
