cst accouting treatment

yes in CST purchase the entire amount including CST paid on purchse is debited to the Purchase reason being that we cannot take credit of this amount so we treat it as a part of direct expenses & debited to the Purchases A/c,

However in case of CST sales we account the CST paid in seprate A/c reason being that this amount is our liablity & which will be settled by paying the CST amount to the department.

Thanks & Regard
