Entering a new Asset - journal

Good morning

 

We have purchased a new work vehicle on lease. I have done this in a previous role entering in but cannot remember the correct procedure. 

The owner put a $1000 deposit and has finance on the car. I do remember you need to Purchase Journal but I need some assistance with putting this in correct.

 

Can some assist with the correct DR & CR. Do I add in insurance costs and I want to add in MYOB so when the monthly payment comes out it debits the original amount. I also need to capture the GST component for the car purchase.

Thankyou

    Hi margkout,

     

    Thanks for posting. I hope someone in the forum can jump in and share how they've handled something similar. That said, with vehicle purchases, leases and GST all in the mix, the best and safest next step is to check in with your accountant. They'll be able to confirm the correct DR & CR setup, GST treatment, and how the lease payments should be handled so everything lines up properly for BAS and year-end reporting.

     

    Regards,

    Sai
