Wht is the differance between Trade discount and cash
Discount?
Answer Posted / h.r. sreepada bhagi
Trade discount is generally given to the customers on bulk
purchase, repeated, purchases, etc. It's shown in the Sales
Invoice. Seller books the income net of discount and the
buyer books the purchase net of discount. In other words,
there is no need to account this discount separately.
However Cash discount is offered bu the seller to the buyers
on early payment & it's related to credit period. Eg, If
paid with in so many days, 2% discount on the invoice
amount, etc. Both the seller and the buyer need to account
the cash discount as expense or income in their respective
books of accounts.
In modern trading business (particularly retail trading),
discount is a regular feature & here the discount is given
at the time of sale itself, it can be treated as trade
discount and there's no need to book the discount
separately. Discount can be shown only in the MIS report for
the purpose of sales analysis and decision making.
