Land Tax - Settlement Sheet

[MCM]

Hi

Our company has purchased a property and is building apartments on it.

The company took out a 100% to purchase this property.

I am trying to enter the Settlement Sheet in MYOB.

Do I enter a JG?  

I have the purchase price - Non Current Asset

Deposit 

Council Rates- Expense

Water Rates - Expense

Water Usage - Expense

Land Tax - Unsure

Discharge of Mortgage - Unsure

Then separately I have Legal Fees, Stamp Duty etc. - Balance Sheet

Can you please advise on the above which account codes they are allocated too.

I understand I should technically get help from my Tax Agent, however that is proving a little difficult at the moment, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @MCM 

I have replied to your other post and suggested speaking to your accountant. But as you mention here that that is difficult at the moment, I'll tag a couple of our partners on this post as they may be able to help.

Please let me know if you need further help.

Welcome to the MYOB Community Forum, I hope you find plenty of useful information.

As @Tracey_H  said you need to talk to your Tax Accountant.

As far as Land Tax and Discharge of Mortgage are concerned they would both be treated as Expenses.

I woun't give you account codes as I have no idea what you have in your Chart of Accounts, you need to make that decision yourself.

The Deposit, if entered correctly when it happened will be sitting in an Asset account for Deposits Paid.

Do a General Journal with all expenses and the total purchase price as debits and the Deposit and remaining payment as Credits.

If it was paid for with a loan then you also need to add the Interest to the Debit side.

I have attached a Asset Purchase document for you to have a read of.  It is old but the proceedure is still the same.
