Entries and documents to be maintained

is there no body who can solve my query....

Dear Sunny, Yours seems proprietorship business (not clarified). Though, Depends on the Turnover of your retail business, stat & tax audit applicable, it is always good to keep the records of transactions.

On considering above, you may keep records like

1) Inventory (Stock) of Old Jewellery (Raw Material)bought by you. (also Financial year Starting & ending period  Opening and Closing stock)

2) Labours used in terms of Hrs/ Piece work payment basis for conversion of Old Jewl to Bullions.

3) Total input and Out Put (Gold Grade Wise) in terms of Quantity in units as well as in percentage of output to Input.

4) Other related Machinery/ Jobwork charges (if out sourced) applicable to above process.

5) The above can be used to estimate the cost incurred for Bullion and so the profit/margin.

6) For Sale of Bullion sales invoice and applicable sales tax records.

7) There are number of Jewellery Accounting Softwares available in mkt., which make above easy.

Dear Sunny,

To. Sales A/c.    67500/-

2nd Entry: -  (If VAT if not applicable in purchase of goods from unregistered dealers)

To. Cash / Sundry Creditors 50000/-

(Being purchase of 20gm of old jewellery)

2nd Entry: -  (If VAT is applicable in purchase of goods from unregistered dealers)

(Being purchase of 20gm of old jewellery)

Input VAT A/c. Dr. 525/-

To. VAT Payable Cr. 525/-

(Being VAT Payable on purchse  of 20gm of old jewellery from unregistered dealers)

Hope you will find it  useful ....

Lets see what other expert have to say on this...

I am from state haryana ....Sir

now plzz tell ...is this vat amount is to be paid to the customer (who is playing the role of creditor here at the time of purchase of old jewellery) or i directly pay to the govnment.

Hello Sunny,

See VAT is of 2 types 

1. Which you have to pay at the time of purchase to the creditor and

2. Which you collect from customer by sale

The difference amout is to be paid to the government or it is carry forward.

If VAT on purchase is more than the VAT on sale the difference amount is to be carry forward on the other hand if VAT on purchase is less than VAT on sale the difference amount is to be paid tho the government.

Hope its clear now.
