Taxfiler / Property Accounts
Permalink Closed


I have one client who holds investment property through a company. Upon adopting FRS 102 the property need to be valued and any gains posted to a fair value reserve. Taxfiler doesn't have this option (only revaluation reserve). 

Is there a workaround? Could it be posted to retained earnings and a disclosure in the notes stating that the fair value proportion of retained earnings cannot be distributed as dividends?

Hi Matt
Might this help
www.aatcomment.org.uk/accounting-for-investment-property-under-frs-102/

I seem to recall seeing something about there being no need to separate out, but for the life of me cannot recall where I read it.

Not sure how you are dumping the accounts into taxfiler - is this via just attaching after doing them in VTT+ (if so I would just add an account/amend the revaluation reserve acocunt if you have one), simplest way. But if you are producing the accounts direct from Taxfiler I cannot help as I do the former.

Probably a daft Q - but have you emailed Taxfiler?

Emailed them and just got "property accounts are unsupported at the moment". If I import from VT will it post with the accounts I have created? (Via VT) I won't have to match them to the taxfiler trial balance?

Can't recall the exact terminology and not got taxfilers handy just now. I think you can just attach them, rather than import (so you are not using their box options, then enter the information for your CT manually in Taxfiler.
