    Hi MMM-NZ Mark,

    First of all you need to create a loan account for the loan balance in your chart of accounts.

    Then do a spend money transaction adding 4 lines.

    1st line - purchase of new vehicle inc GST

    2nd line - less trade in value in a negative amount

    3rd line - add the cost of PPSR and any application fee

    4th Line - balance goes off to loan account created.

    Amount comes back to NIL transaction total - unless you paid a deposit

     

    With the second issue - you need to again to do a NIL value spend money transaction - coding to total payments made with no GST, and then a second line with the same value in negative with the same amount inc GST. This will pay back the GST you have claimed incorrectly.

     

    Using a spend money transactions makes sure that this transaction is included on the payment basis for GST - which I'm assuming you are on.

     

    Hope this helps.
