I bought a car

[EchterIng]

Hello,

I bought a car and now I would like to know how to book

• the initial purchase of the car (no reimbursable tax) paid with money from my private account,
• car insurance
• gas station receipts
• parking

I don't know which accounts to use.

Thanks for any tips you might have.

Hi Inge,

We would like the help you in the best way we can. Therefore I think it is better to give you support by phone. Would you like to give our support desk a call via 020 26 26 926?

Best regards,

Dear Mayron,

I've tried calling the support but it's just a long wait and in the end I hang up.

Here is what I think I should do:

Is the account Reclame - en advertentiekosten correct?

And can I use the same for parking costs?

Thanks,

Inge

 Dear Inge,

If the account 'Reclame en advertentiekosten' is what you want to use in this example, the supplier invoice looks correct.

If you want to add your car in the financial administration, you can use the standard account: '0270 Vervoersmiddelen'(linked to the fixed asset module). After you have created the purchase invoice, it needs to be booked manually though it is paid via your private account. For more specific information about how to do it, please contact your accountant.

After the supplier invoice is booked, It is also necessary to create a fixed asset. More information about that, you can find via this link.

When it comes to registering the other costs, you can use for example the general account '4680 Overige autokosten'(car costs). If you want the information to be registered more specific, than you might want to create new ledger accounts like for example: 'Parking costs', 'Insurance costs', and 'Gas cost' (Type: autokosten). More about creating ledger accounts, you can find via this link. 

Best regards,
