Particular attention should be paid to the data that relates to the sphere of tax accounting. However, life after return does not stop, but continues to boil and rejoice.

Return of goods from the buyer: options for the development of events

When an operation of transferring goods from the seller to the buyer occurs, this fact is displayed in the primary document, namely in the form of TORG-12. Accordingly, on its basis, data are entered in the tax accounting system. In the case of return of goods in the case comes an adjustment invoice. This is a rather important document, because on its basis there is a change in tax liabilities for the value-added tax. But there is one "but": exchange, return of goods on the above scheme are possible only if it is transferred in the proper form. After all, it is established by law that in this case the seller displays such a movement of commodity-material value only as an implementation.

In the event that the goods can not be recognized as qualitative, the display scheme changes slightly. The customer returns the purchased product together with the invoice, the seller's bookkeeping reverses the entries in the documents previously posted and issues a correction invoice.
