Hi All,

I am trying to understand provision for reserve posting for an asset, I tried exploring from my end but didn't get any clue on how to provision for reserve will be posted?

Can anyone please suggest how these transactions are posted ?

RE: Provision for reserve posting for Asset

Hi Ludwig,

We are currently looking into this functionality for a company in The Netherlands where we have a similar rule as what you described for Germany. Which I believe can be summarized as follows:

1. Sale of Fixed Asset: transfer all gains to the reserve account

2. Fixed Asset Acquisition: ability to reduce the FA acquistion value from the reserve account

3. Transfer reserve to profit & loss: When no reinvestment is done within the specific time frame

However, I'm struggling to understand which setup needs to be done where to make this work.

Can you explain in more detail the setup behind this functionality or share an example?

Thank you.

Kind Regards

Hi Nakul,

I have not seen many companies using this functionality.

It is a special functionality that you can use for example in my home country Germany when you sell a fixed asset and try to reinvest the money into a new fixed asset.

So, let's say you want to sell an old machine and invest in a newer / better one.

To make those reinvestments more attractive for companies the government allows to treat the profit that you make for the sale special. Special means that you don't have to pay tax on it provided that you reinvest it within a specific time into the purchase of a new fixed asset.

You can use this functionality to post the profit from the sale to a reserve account that can be cleared when you purchase a new fixed asset. The overall effect is a tax saving.

I cannot tell you whether you have a similar rule in your country/region.

If you have, test out this feature.

Otherwise, don't use it.

Best regards,

Ludwig
