Hello all, I am a bit confused about what items go to credit and debit. I would really appreciate any tips on learning this. Thank you!
Increase in assets is a debit. Decrease in assets is a credit.
Increase in capital is a credit. Decrease in capital is a debit.
Increase in liability is a credit. Decrease in liability is a debit.
All the above is tied to the accounting equation. Owners equity(capital)= Assets- liabilities

Hope this helps.
