Include Tax into Fixed Asset Value

Posted on by 15,428
Hey everyone
 
Per GAAP in USA /Fixed assets should be recorded at cost of acquisition. Cost includes all expenditures directly related to the acquisition or construction of and the preparations for its intended use. Such costs as freight, sales tax, transportation, and installation should be capitalized. /
 
But in BC when we add Fixed Asset in Purchase Order as Taxable and with Tax Area Code then after posting BC only post the $ Excluded Tax as a the value for Fixed Asset. But we want the Tax also be included in the value of FA.
 
Is this possible and if it is not what is the reason?
 
Note: I know if you select Use Tax in Purchase Line then system does the right behavior but that only can be used if vendor did not charged for tax.
 
Thanks for your help

    How about using FA Journal for adjustment? But this requires manual adjustment every time.
    For example,

    Hello MahGah,
     
    I am unfamiliar with US GAAP accounting rules, so please let me know if I am wrong.

    From the below sample, it look seems like you can account it without posting to tax account.

    If you go to Tax Jurisdictions -> Tax Details, there is an Expense/Capitalize field. If you make this true then the system will include tax as part of the fixed asset acquisition cost.
     
    To make this work you can setup a separate Tax Group Code that is used for fixed asset acquisitions and has the Expense/Capitalize set to true.
