Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies how to account for cash discounts received at the time of sale. It explains that GST is typically calculated on the discounted price, and the true purchase cost for the buyer is the net amount paid after the discount. The cash discount itself is considered income for the purchaser and an expense for the seller, impacting their respective Profit & Loss accounts.

Taxes always calculate cost of goods sold minus cash discount in invoice only.
The invoice amount caculation will be as follows.
item price x item amount = item subtotal.
( item subtotal - item discount ) + item tax = item total.
( item total - invoice discount ) + invoice tax = invoice amount.

The correct analysis for cash discount
cash discount is an expense for the seller and income for the purchaser so the cost would be the total value.
i.e. actual cost - 2,10,000/- , cash discount shown in p&l for seller.
