             Dear Chandramouli,
 
In case of purchase / sales returns the VAT element should also be reversed (Reverse Entry). But the VAT shall be elgible for Input before six months from the date of return of goods and date of sale / purchase of ggods. 
 
Secondly, the Input / Output VAT shall not be eligible for credit, if the date of return of goods is after six months from the date of purchase / sale
 	
Following JV is to be passed  :-
In case of Purchase Return
Sundry Creditor A/c         Dr. 
    To Purchase A/c                 Cr.
     To Input VAT A/c                 Cr.
(Being Goods returned by us)
 	
In case of Sales Return
Sales A/c        Dr.    
   To Sundry Debtor A/c     Cr.
    To Output VAT A/c          Cr.
(Being Goods returned by  our customer)
 	
 	
Regards,
