Business commenced with capital in cash of 1000$.Inventory costing 800$ plus sales tax is purchased in cash,and half is sold for 1000$ plus sales tax ,the customer paying in cash at once.The sales tax rate is 20%.

The journal entries required would be:
DR Cash 1000
CR Share capital 1000
DR Inventory 800
DR Sales tax recoverable/receivable 160
CR Cash 960
DR Cash 1200
CR Revenue 1000
CR Sales tax recoverable/receivable 200
DR Cost of sales 400
CR Inventory 400
Now try working out the net effect of these and you should get your answer.
yes,but l utilize this method,liability is 0 but tax liability should be 40$ ( 200-160=40)
Perhaps the solution to the question considers the tax liability to have been paid with a further journal of
DR Sales tax recoverable/receivable 40
CR Cash 40
