New client - no accounts for 08/09..!!!
Permalink Closed


Hi - I need a bit of guidance please...

I've recently started with a small company who's previous bookkeeper left under a bit of a cloud..

All the personel files are missing and there are no accounts or recipts for 08/09 anywhare to be found..!

I spoke with the accountant and have now set about creating a new set of accounts on a simple spreadsheet using the bank statements and cheque book stubs.. All seems to be going ok so far.

Just wondered which header to put the PAYE payments to HMRC to - do they go under Labour or Sundries...? Also, would you put the finance payments for a company vehicle to Capital Expendiure??

I'm sure more questions will crop up as I go through the statements..!

Can't wait to start 09/10 on Sage..!

Many thanks

Raven x

Hi Raven

I would allocate payments of PAYE under labour/salaries. If the finance payment relates to a hire purchase agreeement the payments should go under 'HP/Finance Payments'. If the agreement is a lease agreement then the payments should go under 'Motor vehicle leasing' or something similar.

Surely if it is HP, then the payment needs to be split between HP loan repayments (to the balance sheet account) and HP interest in the P & L?

I find it easier to allocate all HP repayments to the HP control and then post a journal for the HP interest. Apportioning the HP interest and repayment element at source would obviously give you the same answer though.
