Government A allows discounts on taxes. Specifically, taxpayers get a 1 discount on the total tax if it is paid within one month of the initial levy.
 
  What would the journal entry be to record the levy of 700,000 if the government anticipates there will be a 2 uncollectible rate and it is anticipated that the discounts will equal 5,000?
