Where to allocate?
Permalink Closed


Hi

I have a couple of invoices which are quite high and and for supply of pipework/installation of sinks/disabled toilet and to pipe up a new water heater - for a restaurant, which took over a small retail unit (Change of use)   Should I be placing these in fixed assets? If so where?  Can I set up premises improvements in the 'property' nominal code area?

Jo,

Thinking back to books etc, these sorts of things are covered under capital expenses so you should be able to record them as fixed assets. Unless anyone else knows otherwise?

Hi Joanne,

Yes, I agree too, these should be recorded under fixed assets as part of improvements to existing assets.

Going off completely at an angle here but whilst this expenditure is capital is it worth mentioning that the expenditure would be special rate pool for capital allowances?

Just thinking ahead there to the tax return (unless all covered by AIA)

Also, if your AIA goes over the limit you will be wanting to allocate the AIA to the special rate pool first.

all the best,

Shaun.
