VAN HP - VAT

Question asked by Claire Powell 10 years ago

The company has purchased a used Van and paid a deposit ( which includes the whole of the VAT element of the Van) balance of payments with Finance Company. How can I account for the initial deposit and claim back the VAT in the current return.

Hi Claire

  1. Create a bill for the purchase price (including VAT) payable to the supplier.

  2. Mark the deposit being paid off the bill.

  3. Create a new HP loan account (Money > Bank Account > Add).

  4. Pay the remainder of the bill using the HP account.

  5. Class the monthly HP payments as transfers between your bank account and the new loan account.

  6. Post a monthly or annual adjustment for the interest element.
