Novated Lease Luxury Car Charge

Hi,

We have a client who has an employee on a novated lease through Flare. Everything has been setup correctly in MYOB.

The employee is required to pay a luxury car charge as the vehicle is over the luxury car limit. This has been setup in the payroll system and allocates to the novated lease luxury car charge expense account, however the amounts allocated are credits, because they are a deduction from the employee's pay.

How do I process a debit to this account to clear out the credit balance in the expense account?

    Thanks for giving such a clear rundown of the situation. Handling novated leases is complex, and it’s always a good idea to check in with your accounting advisor. 

      

    When you set up a novated lease for an employee through Flare, it's pretty hands-off. The payroll system will automatically show the lease as a credit in your expense account, and you'll have to record a corresponding debit entry against that same account. This is usually completed using an allocation or a spend money transaction. You can check out this link for all the details on how novated lease works in MYOB, it got you covered.
