What is a credit card discount? How does it affect amounts reported on the income statement?



A credit card discount is the fee charged by the credit card company for services. When a company deposits its credit card receipts in the bank, it only receives credit for the sales amount less the discount. The credit card discount account either decreases net sales (it is a contra revenue) or increases selling expense.
