Yes. It will be recorded as per variable cost principles..I've 

Dr. Purchases

Cr. Cash

And 

Dr. Inventory

Cr. Income statement(closing inventory)

So when purchases is not there, the closing inventory cannot offset it. It automatically becomes gain. But somehow we have to demistify acca that cos sales method does offset closing inventory. So when it is off set it is offset mathematically. 

Now leaving it. The distributor will report it as

Dr. Inventory

Cr. Promotions

Free samples are not invoiced.
only control over the quantity is given due respect

I mean to say is acca interprets closing inventory as offsetting purchases for the period. But it is offset by every line item which is convenient for me because fifo already calculated the closing inventory accurately. So my entries are real 

No way. Who ever they are they must invoice under new gst act. They are eligible to be convicted. Even stock transfers must recorded.

There is an invoice act as well

Ok! I made mistake again. But the accounting entry will be what I prescribe!!

GST is applicable when a transaction involves the supply of goods/services for consideration. Goods or services that are supplied free of cost (without any consideration) cannot be treated as ‘supply’ as per Schedule I of the CGST Act, 2017 except on activities specifically mentioned on which GST needs to be charged even when supplied without consideration. Section 17(5)(h) of the CGST Act, 2017 restricts ITC on goods disposed off by way of gift or free samples. Thus, ITC has to be reversed on goods distributed as free samples.

Now tax accountant must work around me to reduce the burden on reporters

Variable consideration must include this issue. 

This transaction is equal to internal goodwill. Who said tax compliance comes into reporting?

No i have complaint on as 26. Internally generated good will or externally generated im confused. Guess its internal. But dont worry cause none of this crap is necessary even at a cfo level..

What is the accounting treatment in the books of receivers of sample goods

After i made a lot of free sample wromg answers, i gor to know this gst act. 

You have to read the gst. Its not taxed. But entries are real. Eg. You want to sell the free smples received

Also refer circular no 92/11/2019 dated 7/3/2019 Gst on free Sample @ prasad nilugal wrote this answer.  And he usually gets all entries right.  If supply is free, why to record purchases. Even if you recognise it, youll have to derecogniae it. So that mens je didnt receive purchase for free. But purcjased it and distributed it for free
