Hello,

Nature of transaction depends on the activity carried out by your org. Here it seems that you are just acting as an intermediary and might be charging professional fees or commission as per the agreed terms.

If the nature is as mentioned in the above para, then just show the company(ABC co) as payable, they are not your creditors as you have not entered into any transaction of purchase or expense with them.

And if consultants are to be charged on accrual basis, you can show them as receivables.

Regards,

Tanvi

Dear Tanvi,

Thanks for your reply.

Actully Customer paying ABC Co. fees. but he paid to us and we paid to ABC. there is no other intention in this activity. we sepratly chrged our counsultancy fees. so how can i show in payment mode? (in tally). If ABC Co. ledger will created then what will be sub lager group. (under which group of ledger come.)

Second question is if we charged our counsultant fees together then we deduct our fees from such amount then paid to ABC Co. in this case how can i pass entry in tally. how show the payment? as indirect exp or what else?
