Personal vehicle used for business purposes

Hi,

 

Fairly new to completely running books for a business, do have some knowledge but possibly more questions than exact knowledge hence this post.  Can someone set me on the right path please?

 

My other half purchased a vehicle in full just before starting his new business using funds from his personal account.  

  1. Should I enter the vehicle as an asset with the payment coming from the owner’s contributions liability account that I have set up? 
  2. Fuel costs… coming out of personal account currently and entered into MYOB under owner’s contributions. Is this the best and/or correct way?  Is it better to claim by the km at tax time?
  3. If I use the spend money option

Thanks everyone!

    Hi Thorpe2025

     

    There are various ways to record assets in your file, and the best approach can differ based on individual practices. It's a good idea to wait for suggestions from other forum members on your post. You can also seek assistance from an accountant or financial advisor to ensure you're recording this correctly.
