how to record sale of partially depreciated vehicle

Hi

I have used my personal car only once for business purposes and claimed depreciation for the business portion in the year 2018-19 company tax return. The value of the car was $35070 and after depreciation, it was $28056 as shown in the Balance sheet. Now I have sold the car to someone for the amount of $27000, Please clarify below:

  • How to record the entry.
  • Do I need to show a loss for that as the vehicle was for personal use only? I just used it for business purposes in the year 2018-19, after that, I purchased another vehicle and registered that on the business name.

 

 

Thanks for your help

 

Kind Regards

    Thanks for your post. As we're not accountants we're not permitted to advise on how that sale needs to be recorded. You will need to speak to your accountant to ensure it is reported correctly.
