No, no entry made for trade discount.

Trade discout is not shown in the books usually only the cash discount is considered but however you have done it you have to make proper accounting treatment in the books.

For Eg. You have to record u r Gross sale value as rs 100 in the books and there u have to deduct the Trade discount of rs 5 so that u r net sales in the profit & Loss account would result to Rs 95.

No entry is made for trade discount

as it is allowed while selling the goods

though cash discount is recorded in books and shown in debit of p&l

because it is allowed while making collection.
