Hire Purchase
Permalink Closed


Recently My company purchased an item on hire purchase for £10000 + VAT, Payable over 4 years. VAT is payable by us now. No interest payable.

What journals I need to pass now ?

How to treat this item in the Balance sheet ?

How to differentiate between Short Term and long term liabilities?

Thank You

I would imagine your journal would be:

Dr Fixed asset additions £10k
Dr input VAT £1.75k
Cr HP liability £10k


as there is no interest and i assume the payments are straight line, when you get to your year end you will want to allocate £2.5k to HP liability 1 Year to reflect the short and long term liabilities.

You said VAT is payable I have assume you meant claimable and this is a purchase.

Adi,
shouldn't the HP creditor be £11.75k? I imagine Suri's company is paying the supplier the vat element up front, in which case the entry will be dr hp creditor and cr bank £1.75k. Very unusual for zero interest on HP????

no the HP cred should be the net amount as the VAT will be paid in the initial deposit (assuming what the OP said in the first post is accurate).

I have seem a fair few 0% HP agreements in the agricultural sector over the last 2 years or so. Get them the sale for large machinery that they might not have secured otherwise. This might start tailing off again as the economy picks up but who knows.

i suppose full journal would be:

dr FA addn 10k
dr input vat 1.75k
Cr HP 11.75k
Dr HP 1.75k
Cr bank 1.75k


So the overall amount over the two postings is £10k, I just sumarised in my first posting, maybe was not the easiest to follow.
