HELLO FRIENDS
WHAT WOULD BE THE TREATMENT OF REBATE ON IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF INVENTORY??

insaan · 07-03-2006, 01:58 AM

IAS 2 para 11 reads as under
The costs of purchase of inventories comprise the purchase price, import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable by the entity from the taxing authorities), and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials and services. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the costs of purchase.

so
any rebate on import of inventory shall be deducted in determininig cost of purchase of inventory
look inventory cost = purchase cost + conversion cost(conversion cost is the cost of converting raw material into WIP and finished goods,comprising both fixed and variable overheads)+other directly attributable costs

Discount and rebate are quite similar words and often used interchangeably.
But as per my understanding, a discount is applied according to a predetermined rate.
and a rebate is the straight deduction of an amount from the amount payable.
for example. U may get shoes at a discount of 10%. But if it is written outside that shop, that a Rs. 100 reduction on shoes costing less than 1,000 and a Rs. 200 reduction on shoes costing between 1,500 and 2,000, then this is rebate.

THanks! Insaan

1- Please also clearify the treatment for rebate on exports!
should it be ignored?

insaan · 07-04-2006, 04:39 AM

no dont ignore it
exports are just like ur sales
and
here is da defintion of net sales
Net Sales - Sales at gross invoice amounts less any adjustments for returns, allowances, or discounts taken
so simply reduce ur gross sales by such rebate to arrive at net sales
