Answer Posted / srn

The treatment of discount depends on whether it is a cash discount or a trade discount. Cash discount is never recorded in the books where as trade discount is. Considering that the aforesaid discount is a trade discount then..

Entry upon booking of Invoice:
-------------------------------
Capital Work-In-Progress [BS] a/c Debit 500
Trade Discount a/c [P&L] Credit 50
Vendor Liability a/c [BS] Credit 450

A withholding tax a/c like TDS Liability a/c and WCT Liability a/c might be involved in the above txn. in which case the these a/cs will credited to the extend of withholding.

Entry when the asset is put to use:
-----------------------------------
Fixed Asset a/c [BS] Debit 500
Capital Work-In-Progress a/c [BS] Credit 500

When Payment is made to the vendor:
-----------------------------------
Vendor Liability a/c [BS] Debit 450
Bank/Cash a/c [BS] Credit 500

Notes:
Trade Discount is a discount allowed by the seller to the buyer in case of bulk purchases made by him.

Cash Discount is a reduction in the net amount payable by the buyer when prompt payment is made by the buyer.
