When you sell a product or when you buy something? Here's the answer for both situations: For a sale: Debit.......... cash or A/R Credit......... Revenue Credit......... Sales Tax payable. Then, when you pay the tax to the state: Debit........... Sales tax payable Credit.......... cash If it's a purchase, you don't have to record sales tax separately unless you want to. If you're capitalizing an asset, it's included in the capitalized amount. But if it's a straight expense, and you want to post the sales tax, this would be the entry: Debit........ expense account (say, for example, office expense) Debit........ sales tax Credit....... cash or A/P
sales generally have credit balance .debit balance of sales would mean that a firm is incurring loss on sales
