To account for sales commission in a trial balance, you should record it as an expense in the income statement section. The commission expense is typically recognized in the period it is incurred, reflecting the cost of generating sales. In the trial balance, it will appear as a debit under the expense category, which will ultimately reduce net income when preparing the final financial statements. Ensure that any commissions payable to salespersons are recorded as liabilities if they remain unpaid at the end of the accounting period.
