Does discount revenue and discount expense include GST?

Having a mental blank here... :o

Say you had a customer buy stock worth $1000 + $100 GST, and they got a 5% discount... their discount would be $55, right?

And would you need to do any adjustments to GST clearing since the stock ended up selling for less than the original price? Or would it still be $100?

Is this a credit sale, and the terms are 5% discount for early repayment?

Liverpool: yes, credit sale with 5% discount for early payments.

Michelle: Thank you! That sounds right.  :)

yes

because you want to make it look like the previous sale transaction didn't take place

Discount is always calculated on total amount owing
