Debit-increase to a Property (Asset) or a decrease to Property Rights (Liability or Equity)
Credit-decrease to a Property (Asset) or an increase to Property Rights (Liability or Equity)

The term debit refers to the left side of an account and credit refers to the right side of an account. A debit is always entered in the left hand column of a a Journal or Ledger Account and a credit is always entered in the right hand column. Debit is abbreviated Dr. and credit is abbreviated Cr.

When you post (record) an entry in the left hand column of an account you are debiting that account. Whether the debit is an increase or decrease depends on the type of account. Likewise, when you post (record) an entry in the right hand column of an account you are crediting that account. Whether the credit is an increase or decrease depends on the type of account.

A Debit is any of the following
* an increase in an asset item
* a decrease in a claim item
* an increase in an expense or draw item
* a decrease in a revenue item A Credit is any of the following
* a decrease in an asset item
* an increase in a claim item
* an increase in a revenue item
* a decrease in an exoense or draw item

* Our Simple Debit / Credit Rule: All Accounts that Normally Have a Debit Balance those on the Left Side of our Reorganized Equation are Increased with a Debit and Decreased with a Credit
o Assets
o Expenses
o Draws
* All Accounts that Normally have a Credit Balance those on the Right Side of our Reorganized Equation are Increased with a Credit and Decreased with a Debit
o Liabilities
o Owner's Equity ( Capital )
o Revenue

Debit and credit are different as far as accounting terms. Someone should rename these terms. I had a very hard time learning to debit expenses and credit income. That is not right!

As per rules of Accounting
Debit Expenses
and credit Incomes


Canadian Bacon
Because revenues are credited. Don't overthink the matter, it's trivial.

Costs and expenses are normally debits. You debit the expense account and credit the way it was paid (as in the checking balance or cash) or not paid (as in Accounts Payable).
