Proper Recording for Sales and Receipts Entries


For easier determination, reporting and schedules preparation of sales or receipts, it is better to use the titles listed in BIR Form 2550Q, to wit:

  • Vatable Sales - Private
  • Sale to Government
  • Zero-Rated Sales
  • Exempt Sales




In actual practice, usually, the entries made is as follows:

dr   Cash or Receivables    xxx
cr            Sales                            xxx
cr            Output Tax                    xxx


Why not segregate them right away, so it is easy to extract and breakdown what type of sales/receipts are made. Your entries may be broken down as follows:

a. For Sales to Private Entities

     dr   Cash or Receivables               xxx
     cr            Vatable Sales - Private           xxx
     cr            Output Tax                              xxx


b. For Sale to Government 

     dr   Cash or Receivables              xxx
     cr            Sale to Government                xxx
     cr            Output Tax                              xxx


c. For Zero-Rated Sales

     dr   Cash or Receivables              xxx
