Net sales are sales proceeds after relevant discounts, returns and other sales adjustments. They form a gross-to-net reconciliation for a consistent period and revenue basis.[1][2] They do not deduct all business expenses and are therefore not net profit.
For a goods-only merchant, net sales and recognised revenue may be the same amount; no artificial difference is needed. Specify which deductions the report includes and how later returns are assigned to periods. Two figures labelled net are not automatically comparable if their adjustment rules differ.
