Respected sir…… sir for example 2 i calculated in this way…….. let X be the net selling price without tax or exlusive of tax….. then, 16%of X=120 – X 16/100 of X=120 – X 16X=[120 – X]100 16X=12000-100x 116X=12000 X=12000/116 X=103.45approx value where exact is 103.44827 so now as we got the value of X i.e.,103.45 which is net selling price[tax exclusive] so calculating 16%on 103.45 we get the sales tax as 17.so I did it in this way sir which i feel easy can i do the same for the same type of quetions if they repeat……or will this method give out a different answer?
That is fine – it does not matter how you go about calculating the figure. In the exam it will only be asked as an MCQ and only the answer is marked – nobody will look at your workings.
The only factor to consider is speed – you will be in enormous time pressure in the exam and therefore it is vital you do it as fast as you can.
The only situation in which this is relevant for F3 is if the trader is not registered for sales tax.
if that is the case, then they do not change sales tax on their sales. Also, they cannot get back the sales tax on anything they buy. Therefore the full amount paid is the expense (or the cost, if they are buying an asset).
Suppose they pay 120 (Including sales tax) for purchases. The entry if they are not registered for sales tax is Dr Purchases 120 Cr Cash 120. There is no accounting for sales tax.
I feel I have to comment about the material here @ Open, It is fantastic. I have recently been studyig with BPP both classroom and home study and I have not seen any real different between the two organisations. That is how highly I rate the material being provided.

Respected sir……
sir for example 2 i calculated in this way……..
let X be the net selling price without tax or exlusive of tax…..
then,
16%of X=120 – X
16/100 of X=120 – X
16X=[120 – X]100
16X=12000-100x
116X=12000
X=12000/116
X=103.45approx value where exact is 103.44827
so now as we got the value of X i.e.,103.45 which is net selling price[tax exclusive]
so calculating 16%on 103.45 we get the sales tax as 17.so I did it in this way sir which i feel easy can i do the same for the same type of quetions if they repeat……or will this method give out a different answer?
