Treatment of expenses in sole proprietor business

It is better to use personal bank account when the expenses incurred is of a personal nature and nothing to do with the business. So yoy may use drawing account and then repay the same to the business from personal account.

as said by mr. mihir, these personal expenses would be routed through proprietor's drawings A/c... so, you should try to maintain such payments through your personal savings bank a/c...

Sole Proprietorship - Accounting of business Expenses - Accounting of personal expenses and withdrawals

1. All business expenses and payment to Creditors and business loans should be through BUSINESS banking accounts and cash withdrawn from business banking account.

2. All personal expenses, personal loan repayments and personal credit repayments should be routed through PERSONAL banking accounts and CASH withdrawn from personal banking account.

3. Due to unavoidable circumstances and situations beyond our control if any personal expenses incurred from business account and business expenses incurred from personal accounts; the same may be routed to respective accounts, be it business or personal through JOURNAL entries.

Recommendations:-

Business Balance Sheet and Personal Balance Sheet should be drawn separately and then should be CONSOLIDATED.

Business Profit & Loss account and Personal Capital account should be drawn separately.
