Please provide further information.

 

Are you talking about a Property Settlement?

This is a complex area and you should seek advice from your Tax Accountant.

 

The Cost, Stamp Duty and Legal Fees are recorded on the Balance Sheet.

I have a separate account for each.

 

Adjusting Entries eg water, rates, body corporate etc are recorded in the P&L.

 

You should have a Settlement Sheet from the Solicitor.

First, determine who the owner/s are.

 

Once again, seek advice from your Tax Accountant.
