Accounting Cash Purchase of Services

While purchasing or selling services one can decide on the nature of purchases - Credit Or Cash.  Usually cash transactions will have attractive offers over credit transactions as there is immediate flow of cash. Because of cost effectiveness some organisations may prefer to carry out the cash purchase or sale of services

Tally.ERP 9 facilitates users in recording cash purchases and sales along with the details of Service Provider and Service Receiver.

Example: On 13-07-2012 ABC Company Purchased Advertising Services on Cash from Krypton Agencies for Rs. 30,000 on which Service Tax is charged @ 12.36%
