If you are claiming VAT as input credit on Capital Goods, then trasnfer the VAt of Rs 54k to a separate account under the head current Assets as V AT Input Credit(Capital Goods).  If you are not availaing the input credit then show the VAt paid as cost of the car.  Insurance charges will be debited to prepaid insurance and not to the cost of the car.  road tax will be debited to the cost of the car

agreed with mr girdhar

First time insurance charges should be capitalized in the cost of car.

Subsequent renewals of insurance should be charged to revenue account in the manner mentioned by Mr. Giridhar

 

Reason being one can not put the car in use before getting it insured 

AS-10 requires that all cost directly attributable for bringing asset to its inteneded use should be capitalized.

sorry mr girdhar

will first insurance not added to cost

Still didnt get ans.......Please help me expert

Dr F.A.G.B: Car A/c                                             Rs. 1017481/-
Cr Party Name(as mentioned in the Invoices)                              Rs. 1017481/-
   
  Definations:
Clause :1 Vat amt. : if car purchase for the purpose of Direct Operation related to business then Vat will be claimed as Vat Capital
  otherwise it will be include in the cost of car
  Direct Operation related to Business Example:
 

For Pizza Hut: the car Which used in the delevery & A Crane which used in Loading Unloading for a mfg. 

Concern.

Clause :2 amount of first bill+road tax+insurance+service charge:
  Amount of First Insurance & Road tax will sure add in the Cost of Car 
  and Second time when Insurance will renew Than Entry will be
Dr. Insurance Exp.              Rs………
Dr. Prepaid Exp                   Rs……..
Cr. Insurance Co. Name                     Rs………
  (Being amt. …………………………………………………….
   
Clause 3 service charge: Input
  This concept also same as mentioned in Clause 1 (for a manufacturing Co. , which manufactures goods Input claim on
  Motor Vehicles is prohibited other than Vehicles Used in Direct Mfg. Opeation Such as : Mobile Crane which used in Loading
  & Unloading in the Factory)

 

Thanks for reply ,,,,i have a car insurance in which service tax input avilable ,,,,can i avail this

Agree with irfancpa

i think service tax input is not avilable becouse Insurance charge has been Capitalised .

 

An output service provider shall be allowed to take credit of the service tax paid on such input services, which fall in the same category of taxable service as that of output service


If not then you are consumer not entitled to claim the credit. In your case it doesn't appear that credit can be availed

 

I think its clear but still

car [cost and non refundable taxes (VAT+ ST) + insurance + road tax etc)

subsequent insurance

 

insurance exp (current period)

prepaid insurance 

to bank

 

insurance exp

to prepaid insurance

Ya, Agree whith him, as Output service Provider only claim Input Tax on Vehicle Insurance Chg.

 

 

 

Yes I Agree with Z's answer,                                                                                                                          as Output service Provider only claim Input Tax on Vehicle Insurance Charges.
 
But, Still You hav'nt mentioned your Orgnisation Structure is this Manufacturing Or Service Industry 

 

 

Amount to be capitalised = Rs 530186 less car insurance.

Also,the service charge is to be deducted if and only if in terms of agreement there is future service/maintainance charges which the company had paid it now.
That would also be treated a pre paid expenses as well,and would require to be deducted from the amount.

No input credit on car VAT available since you puracse this fixed asset not for resale but for your company's use,thus,it will include under the cost of asset.

insurance will be a revenue expense.

 

Insurance is an annual reccurring expenditure. Also, not only for the first time, every year, without insurance the car cannot be used. Therefore i feel, the insurance to be charged to revenue and not to be capitalized.
