1) We can not avail credit of VAT on Bad Debts.

Sapare sir u mean to say 1st entry is correct = i agree wit U

3) Sales a/c         debit                  Rs.10,000/-

     Output Vat a/c        debit                 Rs.1,000/-

                     To Party ABC Pvt ltd a/c                             Rs.11,000/-

(Being party not ready to pay bill no. abc123. therefore, bill reversed)

NOTE: (WE BOOKED CREDIT NOTE INSTEAD OF JV OF BAD DEBT)

IS THIS ENTRY CORRECT ?

Issuing credit note is appropirate.

It should be used only when actually goods are returned.

you should write off as bad debt only

but ca of the company (as employee of pvt ltd) not agree with the same. even he pass discount recived entry as;

Party a/c debit                Rs.XXX

     To Puchase a/c                              Rs.XXX

      To Vat input a/c                              Rs.XXX

(Being Discount received from party)

is this entry is correct?
