The discount is recorded on the invoice £250 × 10 = 2,500 – 20% (£500) = £2000. £2,000 is the figure that is used in the double-entry books. Example: trade discount

  19. For example, if a business on 1 November has a bank overdraft of £1,200, and a cash balance of £330, then the opening balances in the cash book would appear as follows:

  20. If the balance b/d on the bank is a credit then it is a bank overdraft. You can never have a balance b/d on the credit side of the cash account (it is impossible to physically spend more cash than you have). Take care with discounts: trade discounts do not appear in the cash book or double-entry accounts. Cash discounts do appear in the cash book: these are discounts given for early settlement, not necessarily for cash payments. Tips
