Are you a new user who has purchased assets under amortization and would like to add them to Accountable?

In this article, we go through the steps in detail.

Here are the steps:

→ Encode the expense

First add the purchase invoice and then :

  • Specify the purchase date

  • Supplier name

  • Select the Vehicle > Automobile > purchase of a car or Vehicle > Utility vehicles > purchase of a utility vehicle

  • Register the asset in the system (in the case of a vehicle)

  • Indicate the % of professional use

  • Indicate amortization period

  • Name the item

🚨 If you are subject to VAT, you must link the expense to the corresponding quarter, i.e., the VAT quarter in which this asset was declared.

🚨🚨You must encode the expense on the purchase date shown on the invoice (and not on the day of encoding).

→ The application will automatically calculate the deductible values for the current year.

You can access the information in your depreciation table:

Accountable applies linear amortization for the full year.

If you have previously amortized an asset using the pro rata temporis straight-line method, please contact our team at support@accountable.eu.

→ The data will be accurately added to your tax returns for the year.

The deductible amount will be taken into account and added to your deductible business expenses:

They always answer right away to any question I have, they provide clear answers, and they are very patient even when I struggle to understand. They try to explain in different ways. They are very helpful, responsive and friendly.

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
