    Please help me with this question about sale tax.
    If the price of good is 700
    Cash discount is 10%
    So sale tax (10%) is (700-10%)*10% =69

    And the customer does not pay within discount period.

    So, at first, the company will record the following entries
    DR Receivable 769
    CR Sale 700
    CR Sale Tax 69

    But, when customer does not pay within discount period, how will they record this?

    DR Cash 770
    CR Receivable 770

    So how $770 – $769 =$1 be recorded? I am so confused.

    Sales tax is not recalculated if they do not get the discount.

    So they will not pay 770. The invoice was for 769 and so they will pay 769.

    So Dr Cash Cr Receivables with 769.
