Sales Tax

n
od 经
.c
Definition
A business' sales and purchases are often subject to sales tax. This is an indirect

ga 财
tax, as it is not levied directly on the individual like personal income tax. Sales

un
tax is collected by traders who charge it on the goods they sell to the customer.

a. 顿
A business charges sales tax on its sales (output tax) and suffers sales tax on its
purchases (input tax). Typically, a business which is registered for sales tax
cc 高
only needs to make a payment to the tax authorities of the net amount of sales
tax (i.e. sales tax owed on outputs less sales tax suffered on inputs).
ILLUSTRATION

n
Sales tax is a cumulative tax, collected at various stages of a product's life. In the

od 经
illustrative example below, a manufacturer of a television buys materials and

.c
components and then sells the television to a wholesaler, who in turn sells it to a retailer,
who then sells it to a customer. It is assumed that the rate for sales tax is 15% on all

ga 财
items. All the other figures are for illustration only.

Lecture Example

n

A business buys goods for $1,000 plus 15% sales tax. They then sell those goods for

.c
$1,500 + 15% sales tax.

ga 财
The purchases will cost ($1,000 × 1.15) = $1,150

un
The sales will raise ($1,500 × 1.15) = $1,725

The sales tax payable to tax authorities will be:

a. 顿
$
Payable on outputs (sales) (15% × $1,500) 225.00
Reclaimable on inputs (purchases) (15% × $1,000) (150.00)
Net sales tax to tax authoritiescc 高 75.00

As the business is purely collecting the sales tax for the tax authorities, and is able to set
off its sales tax suffered it does not include sales tax as either an expense or income in
the statement of profit or loss. The sales tax is accounted for when the transaction occurs.

Irrecoverable sales tax

n
od 经
.c
In some tax regimes, sales tax on certain inputs is never recoverable. For example, sales tax
on business entertaining or on cars may not be recoverable. In this case the tax is a genuine
expense of the business and is charged to the statement of profit or loss or included in the

ga 财
un
cost of an asset to be depreciated. For example, the double entry for buying a car where the
sales tax is irrecoverable would be:

a. 顿

Perry P Louis, trading as the Umbrella Shop, ends his financial year on 30

ga 财
the year to 30 September 20X5, he purchased 30,000 umbrellas costing $60,000

un
from umbrella wholesalers and suppliers. He resold the umbrellas for $5 each, and
sales for the year amounted to $100,000 (20,000 umbrellas). At 30 September

a. 顿
there were 10,000 unsold umbrellas left in inventory, valued at $2 each.

What was Perry P Louis's gross profit for the year?
Answer

n
Perry P Louis purchased 30,000 umbrellas, but only sold 20,000. Purchase costs

od 经
.c
of $60,000 and sales of $100,000 do not represent the same quantity of goods.
The gross profit for the year should be calculated by 'matching' the sales value

ga 财
of the 20,000 umbrellas sold with the cost of those 20,000 umbrellas. The cost of

un
sales in this example is therefore the cost of purchases minus the cost of goods

.c
In this accounting year, he purchased 40,000 umbrellas to add to the 10,000 he
already had in inventory at the start of the year. He sold 45,000, leaving 5,000

ga 财
umbrellas in inventory at the year end.

un
Once again, gross profit should be calculated by matching the value of 45,000
units of sales with the cost of those 45,000 units.

a. 顿
The cost of sales is the value of the 10,000 umbrellas in inventory at the
beginning of the year, plus the cost of the 40,000 umbrellas purchased, less the

.c
Under FIFO it is assumed that:

ga 财
(ii) Remaining inventories are the from the most recent purchases/production.

un
(b) Average Cost (AVCO)

a. 顿
There are two average costs available:
(i) Simple average cost
The cost of all purchases/production during the year is divided by the total
cc 高
number of units purchased
(ii) Weighted average cost
The weighted average of the cost of similar items is recalculated each time a
new item is purchased/produced during the period (IAS 2 requires the weighted
average to be used).
Lecture Example

If you are preparing financial accounts you would normally expect to use FIFO or AVCO for the valuation of

od 经
inventory. IAS 2 Inventories does not permit the use of LIFO. You should note furthermore that terms such as

Receipts mean goods are received into store and issues represent the issue of goods from store.
The problem is to put a valuation on the following.
(a) The issues of materials
(b) The closing inventory
How would issues and closing inventory be valued using FIFO and AVCO?
Answer FIFO(first in, first out)

n
FIFO assumes that materials are issued out of inventory in the order in which they were

od 经
delivered into inventory, ie issues are priced at the cost of the earliest delivery remaining in

inventory.
The cost of issues and closing inventory value in the example, using FIFO, would be as follows.

Answer AVCO(average cost)

n
od 经
There are various ways in which average costs may be used in pricing inventory

.c
issues. The most common (cumulative weighted average pricing) is illustrated below.
The cumulative weighted average pricing method calculates a weighted average

ga 财
price for all units in inventory. Issues are priced at this average cost, and the balance

un
of inventory remaining would have the same unit valuation.
A new weighted average price is calculated whenever a new delivery of

a. 顿
materials into store is received. This is the key feature of cumulative weighted
average pricing.
In our example, issue costs and closing inventory values would be as follows.

Revaluation Model VS Cost Model

n
If an entity owns a property it may notice that its value increases over time.

od 经
.c
IAS 16 requires tangible non-current assets to initially be recorded at cost. The entity can
then either keep the asset at cost (and depreciate it) or choose to revalue it (depreciation is

ga 财
un
still required).
This is a choice of accounting policy

a. 顿
If an entity chooses a policy of revaluation then all items in the same class of assets
must be revalued.
cc 高
Examples of classes of assets are:
• Land and buildings
• Plant and machinery
• Motor vehicles
Revaluations must be carried out sufficiently often so that the assets carrying
value is not materially different from its market value.
Accounting Treatment

n
od 经
1. Adjust cost account to revalued amount.

.c
2. Remove accumulated depreciation charged on the asset to date.
3. Put the balance to the revaluation surplus (sometimes referred to as the

asset without physical substance.

ga 财
The difference between tangible and intangible non-current assets

is that tangible assets have physical substance whereas intangible

a. 顿
assets do not.

The following are examples of intangible assets:

Companies need to account for these costs and whilst the credit entry will be to
either cash (if paid) or a current liability (if owed), the question remains as to

a. 顿
where the debit entry should be shown.

The choices are: cc 高


(a) to debit the statement of profit or loss with an expense, or
(b) to debit the statement of financial position with an intangible non-
current asset.
An intangible non-current asset should only be recorded when the entity is
confident that the expenditure will generate future profit.

(3) $25,000 on materials to manufacture a prototype and $50,000 on salaries

a. 顿
relating to its = design and manufacture. The new car is expected to go on
sale in 20X9.

Required
cc 高
How should each of the above items be shown in the financial statements for the
year ended 31 August 20X8?
Answer

n
1. Market research would take place at an early stage in any development process.

od 经
.c
Its purpose is to gather information about whether there may be interest in a
potential product. At this point in time an entity cannot be certain that the

ga 财
expenditure will lead to profits and so the costs are research costs. $20,000

un
should be shown as an expense in the statement of profit or loss.
2. A machine is a tangible non-current asset and is accounted for under IAS 16

a. 顿
regardless of its use. The $100,000 should be capitalised as a tangible non-
current asset and depreciated over its useful life of 10 years.
cc 高
3. Material costs and design and manufacture salaries are part of the development
process. They should be capitalised as an intangible non-current asset provided
that all of the 'PIRATE' criteria are met. The costs should be amortised in 20X9
once the car is available to be sold on the market.
Amortization

n
A tangible non-current asset, such as a machine, is capitalised and then

od 经
.c
depreciated over its useful life. This is to allocate its costs over the accounting
periods which benefit from its use.

ga 财
un
In the same way development expenditure which is incurred now will
generate revenue and profits in the future.

a. 顿
The cost of the development expenditure should be matched against the
revenue it produces. This is called amortisation
cc 高
The 'depreciable amount' (cost less residual value) should be amortised over
the useful life in the same way that revenues are expected to be generated.

Amortisation should begin when the asset is ready for use.

Provision

ga 财

Contingent liability

a. 顿
Contingent asset
cc 高
Definition

n
od 经
.c
A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount.

ga 财
un
a. 顿
cc 高
Recognition

n
A provision should only be recognised (ie. included in the

od 经
.c
financial statements) when:
a) An entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as

ga 财
un
a result of a past event;
b) It is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be

a. 顿
required to settle the obligation; and
c) A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Unless all three conditions are met, no provision
cc 高
can be recognised.
Legal obligation

n
od 经
.c
A legal obligation usually arises out of a contract or a

ga 财
piece of legislation.

un
a. 顿
cc 高
ILLUSTRATION

n
od 经
.c
Grass Co sells lawnmowers and offers a one-year warranty on all
models.

ga 财
un
Once Grass Co sells a lawnmower (the past event) it has a legal
obligation to repair any defects according to the warranty agreement.

a. 顿
It should therefore make an estimate of the probable costs of repair
cc 高
and make a provision for this amount in its financial statements.
Constructive obligation

n
od 经
.c
A constructive obligation arises through past behaviour and
actions where the entity has raised a valid expectation that

ga 财
un
it will carry out a particular action.

a. 顿
cc 高
ILLUSTRATION

n
od 经
Seed Co also sells lawnmowers. It does not offer a warranty on its

.c
products; however it has a reputation for making free reasonable
repairs to lawnmowers bought from the business.Customers buying

ga 财
un
from Seed Co all expect to receive this benefit.

a. 顿
Here no warranty is offered and so Seed Co does not have a legal
obligation. Its past actions however have created a constructive
cc 高
obligation. It should also therefore make a provision for the
probable costs of repairs.
Probable outflow

n
od 经
.c
Probable is defined as ‘more likely than not to occur’. This

ga 财
can be interpreted as a greater than a 50% chance of

un
occurring

a. 顿
cc 高
Measurement

n
od 经
.c
The amount recognised as a provision shall be the best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation.

ga 财
un
If there is uncertainty surrounding the amount:
• for a large population of items, the expected value should be

a. 顿
used;
• for a single obligation, the individual most likely outcome may
cc 高
be the best estimate of the liability.
Accounting treatment

n
od 经
The provision represents both a cost to the business and a potential liability:

.c
Dr Expense (SPL)
Cr Provision (SOFP)

ga 财
un
The required provision will be reviewed at each year end and increased or
decreased as necessary.

a. 顿
To increase a provision:
Dr Expense (SPL)
Cr Provision (SOFP)
cc 高
To decrease a provision:
Dr Provision (SOFP)
Cr Expense (SPL)
Lecture Example

n
od 经
Grass Co is reviewing its warranty obligations. Based on sales during 20X7 it

.c
has established that if all lawnmowers sold required minor repairs this would
cost $1m whereas if major repairs were required this would cost $6m.

ga 财
un
Grass Co expects that 75% of lawnmowers will have no faults, 20% will need
minor repairs and 5% major repairs.
Required

a. 顿
a) What provision should be made in 20X7 and what accounting entry is
needed to record it?
cc 高
b) What entry should be made in 20X8 assuming the provision required then
is $0.75m?
c) What entry should be made in 20X9 assuming the provision required then
is $0.3m?
Answer

n
od 经
(a) A provision should be made using expected values:

.c
($1m × 20%) + ($6m × 5%) = $0.5m
Dr Warranty cost expense (SPL) $0.5m

ga 财
un
Cr Provisions (SOFP) $0.5m
(b) In 20X8 the provision needs to increase by $0.25m ($0.75m – $0.5m).

a. 顿
Entry is:
Dr Warranty cost expense (SPL) $0.25m
Cr Provisions (SOFP) $0.25m
cc 高
(c) In 20X9 the provision needs to decrease by $0.45m ($0.75m – $0.3m).
Entry is
Dr Provisions (SOFP) $0.45m
Cr Warranty cost expense (SPL) $0.45m
Contingent liabilities

n
A contingent liability is an uncertain liability that does not meet the three

od 经
.c
criteria for recognising a provision.
IAS 37 defines a contingent liability as the following:

ga 财
a) A possible obligation that arises from past events and whose

un
existence will be confirmed only the occurrence or non-occurrence of
one or more uncertain future event not wholly within the control of the

a. 顿
entity; or
b) A present obligation that arises from past events but is not
recognised because:
cc 高
I. It is not probable that an outflow of economic resources will be
required to settle the obligation; or
II. The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient
reliability.
Contingent liabilities should be disclosed in the notes unless probability
of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
ILLUSTRATION

n
od 经
Company A has entered into an agreement to act as guarantor on a bank

.c
loan taken out by Mr Smith. Mr Smith is a financially secure individual,
and the directors are of the opinion that the chances of him defaulting on

ga 财
un
the loan are slim.
How should company A account for this guarantee?

a. 顿
Company A has a present obligation (it is legally obliged to honour the
guarantee). However, as the likelihood of Company A having to pay out
cc 高
under the guarantee is not probable then no provision for the liability should
be made. Instead, the guarantee should be disclosed in the notes as a
contingent liability (unless considered remote, in which case it should be
ignored altogether).
Lecture Example

n
od 经
.c
Edward Co owns a chain of supermarkets. In the year ended 30 September 20X5, a
customer slipped on a spilt yoghurt in one of the supermarkets and was seriously injured.
Prior to the year end, the customer began legal proceedings seeking damages from

ga 财
un
Edward Co. Edward Co’s lawyers have stated that there is a 30% chance that Edward
Co will win the case and if they lose, damages of $50,000 are likely.

a. 顿
Which of the following is the correct accounting treatment for the legal proceedings
in the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 20X5?

A
B
cc 高
Edward Co should neither provide for nor disclose the legal proceedings
Edward Co should provide for the expected cost of the damages of $50,000
C Edward Co should provide for an expected cost of $15,000
D Edward Co should disclose a contingent liability of $50,000
Answer

n
od 经
.c
B
There is a present legal obligation and the outflow is probable because

ga 财
the lawyers believe that there is more than a 50% chance of Edward Co

un
losing the case. As there is a single obligation, the provision should be

a. 顿
measured at the most likely outcome of $50,000.

cc 高
Contingent assets

n
od 经
A possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be

.c
confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events not wholly within the control of the entity.

ga 财
un
Contingent assets should be disclosed in the notes where an inflow of
economic benefits is probable, otherwise they should be ignored.

a. 顿
If the probability of an inflow of economic benefits is virtually certain then
the asset is not a contingent asset and should be recognised in the financial
statements. cc 高

Preference shares

n
There are two types of preference shares – redeemable (the company is

od 经
.c
obliged to repay the nominal value of the shares at a later date) and
irredeemable (no obligation to repay).

ga 财
un
In substance, redeemable preference shares behave like debt because they
contain an obligation, meeting the Conceptual Framework definition of a

a. 顿
liability. Therefore, they should be treated as a liability (non-current until one
year before redemption) in the statement of financial position and the
dividends should be treated as a finance cost (i.e. interest) in the statement of
profit or loss.
cc 高
Irredeemable preference shares contain no obligation so should be treated
as equity i.e. in the same way as ordinary shares. The dividends should be
treated as an appropriation of profit (see below).
Accounting treatment

n
Dividends on ordinary shares and irredeemable preference shares are

od 经
.c
charged directly to retained earnings as they are an appropriation of
profits earned to date. They are not an expense in the statement of profit or

ga 财
loss.

un
The double entry for dividends on ordinary shares and irredeemable

a. 顿
preference shares is:

od 经
Illustration:

.c
P Co is a printing business which sells stationery to F Co, a florist. F Co supplies P Co with
flowers and plants for its offices.

ga 财
During October, P Co sells stationery worth $200 to F Co and F Co delivers flowers and

un
plants to P Co worth $70.
P Co has the following amounts in its books:
Receivables: $200

a. 顿
Payables: $70
The two businesses agree to offset the balances receivable and payable via a contra.
The contra will be for the lower of the two amounts: $70. This will decrease both
cc 高
receivables and payables by $70 and the remaining $130 can then be paid in cash.

A contra entry is always recorded as:


Dr PLCA
Cr RLCA
This will reduce both receivables and payables.

Note that the memorandum ledgers will also need to be updated for the contra entry.
Returns, Credit and Refunds

n
od 经

Sometimes when a business has made a sale, the customer will return the
goods. Equally when the business has purchased some goods on credit, it

ga 财

Steps for sales returns

n
(1) Goods are sold to the customer for $250:

od 经
.c
Dr RLCA $250
Cr Sales $250
(2) Customer pays for goods:

ga 财
un
Dr Bank $250
Cr RLCA $250
At this point the balance on the receivables ledger control account is nil.

a. 顿
(3) Customer returns the goods and is issued with a credit note:
Dr Sales (returns) $250
Cr RLCA $250
cc 高
This entry reverses the original sale.
The receivables ledger control account will show a credit balance reflecting that
the business owes money to the customer. This could be offset against future sales
or the customer may request a refund.
(4) The business refunds the customer:
Dr RLCA $250
Cr Bank $250
Once again the balance on the receivables ledger control account is nil.
Steps for purchase returns

Once again the balance on the payables ledger control account is nil.

Again, the memorandum ledgers must also be updated.


Over payment

n
od 经
.c
If a customer pays too much to settle an invoice or pays an invoice
twice the business will owe the excess to the customer.

ga 财
This may be held and treated like a credit note or the monies

un
refunded to the customer.

a. 顿
Equally if the business pays too much to a supplier, the supplier will
owe the excess to the business and as for sales, this may be held and
treated like a credit note or the monies refunded by the supplier
cc 高
Interest on overdue accounts

n
od 经
If a customer is late in settling their account then an entity may decide to

.c
charge them interest.
This will increase the amount they owe and will be shown as interest

ga 财

The same could apply to late payment to suppliers.

There are two types of discounts:

.c
(a) Trade discounts
I. Given at the time of the sale/purchase, they reduce the

selling price as an inducement to purchase;
II. Usually for regular customers or bulk buyers.

a. 顿
(b) Settlement discounts
I. Offered, but not necessarily taken, as an inducement to
settle a debt early;

Introduction

n
od 经
This is designed to enable you to explain and apply the approach to

.c
identifying and correcting errors through the use of bank reconciliations.

ga 财
The cash book is used to record the detailed transactions of receipts and

un
payments into and out of the bank account. These are then posted to the
nominal ledger periodically using

a. 顿
double entry. At the end of each accounting period, the balance on the
cash book should equal the balance in the nominal ledger cash account.
cc 高
Bank statements provide an independent record of the balance on the
bank account but this balance is unlikely to agree exactly to the cash
book balance – therefore a reconciliation is
Difference reasons

n
Differences essentially occur for three reasons:

od 经
.c
(a) Timing differences:
I. Outstanding lodgements/deposits credited after date
(money paid into the bank by the business but not yet

ga 财
un
appearing as a receipt on bank statement)
II. Unpresented/outstanding cheques (cheques paid out by

a. 顿
business which have not yet appeared on bank statement).
(b) Errors by the business (i.e. in the cash book):
I. Omissions, such as:
standing orders
direct debits
cc 高
bank charges Dishonoured cheque
interest
II. Transposition errors
III. Casting errors
(c) Errors by the bank.
Identification

n
od 经
In the books of the business:

.c
POSITIVE BANK BALANCE = ASSET = DEBIT

ga 财
un
NEGATIVE BANK BALANCE (OVERDRAFT) = LIABILITY = CREDIT
But from the bank’s point of view:

a. 顿
POSITIVE BALANCE = LIABILITY = CREDIT (the bank owes you your money)
cc 高
NEGATIVE BALANCE (OVERDRAFT) = ASSET = DEBIT
(you owe the bank ∴ this is an asset for the bank)

Suspense accounts

n
Definition

od 经
.c
A suspense account is a temporary account. They never appear in
the final accounts.

ga 财
un
It is used for two main reasons:
1. To account for a debit or credit entry when the accountant is unsure

a. 顿
as to where it should go
2. To make a preliminary trial balance balance when an error has been
detected. cc 高
Steps to clear a suspense account.
1. Determine the original accounting entry which was made.
2. Decide what entry should have been made.
3. Make the required adjustment
Illustration

n
W Co sold goods with a value of $2,500 to James, a credit customer. When

od 经
.c
recording the sale W Co posted the transaction to the correct accounts but made
two debit entries.
Steps

ga 财
un
(1) Entry made was:
Dr Trade receivables $2,500
Dr Sales $2,500

a. 顿
(2) Entry should have been:
Dr Trade receivables $2,500
Cr Sales $2,500
(3) Correction: cc 高
The trade receivables entry is correct but sales have been debited by $2,500
when they should have been credited by that amount.
The correction is therefore twice the original error:
Dr Suspense account $5,000
Cr Sales (2 × $2,500) $5,000
Being: correction of sales posting.

Both K and M are subsidiaries even though J owns less than 50% of

by another entity. J has control over K because of the management
agreement giving J responsibility for all key operating and

Information gap

.c
The parent company’s shareholders will only have access to the parent’s
separate financial statements (not the subsidiary’s financial statements).

ga 财
un
Therefore they will only be able to see the investment as cost in the statement
of financial position and dividend income in the statement of profit or loss and

a. 顿
other comprehensive income. They will not be able to see the impact of the
parent’s control over the net assets and profit of the subsidiary.

cc 高
The purpose of group financial statements is to bridge the information gap.
Provided the parent has a controlling influence, it is required to produce an
additional set of financial statements which aim to record the substance of its
relationship with its subsidiaries (single economic entity) rather than its
strict legal form (separate legal entities).
Accounting treatment for an associate

n

An investment in an associate is accounted for in consolidated
financial statements using the equity method.

As the parent does not have control, 100% of the associate’s
assets, liabilities, income and expenses cannot be added to the

Fair value of net assets acquired

.c
Assets and liabilities in an entity's own financial statements are often not stated

ga 财
at their fair value, e.g. where the entity's accounting policy is to use the cost

un
model for assets. If the subsidiary's financial statements are not adjusted to their
fair values, where, for example, an asset's value has risen since purchase, goodwill

a. 顿
would be overstated (as it would include the increase in value of the asset).

Under IFRS 3 the net assets acquired are therefore required to be brought into the
cc 高
consolidated financial statements at their fair value rather than their book value.
The difference between fair values and book values is a consolidation adjustment
made only for the purposes of the consolidated financial statements.

Fair value of consideration
The consideration transferred (which is the same as the figure recorded as

the cost of the investment in the parent's separate financial statements) is
also measured at fair value.

a. 顿
For the purposes of the exam, the consideration could consist of cash or
shares. The fair value of cash is simply the amount of cash paid. The fair
cc 高
value of shares is the quoted share price at the acquisition date.
