    I have some questions:
    1. Does income statement consists of return inwards?
    2. Is COGS affected by return inwards?
    Pleas answer, thanks very much.

    Returns inwards are returns from customers and will appear on the Statement of Profit or Loss (it is not called the Income Statement any more) as a reduction in the sales.

    It does not affect the cost of goods sold because it is nothing to do with the cost of the goods.

    This is all explained in my free lectures. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
