Hi
This is a long term liability and should appear on your balance sheet. Remember to also do you fixed asset register.

Hi Rika, Thanks for your help. Could I possibly email you the installment sale agreement as well as the journals that I've processed so you can check if I'm correct?

Instalment Sale: KIA Sportage 5600/100 292754,28(C)
You did not mention the montly fee in your journal but its included in the Total of R292754,28.
At year end do I need an amortisation schedule to write of the finance charges or can I take 40055,28/12months???????
It looks fine to me.
It's important that you set out the journal in the way I described it in the other thread, so that the VAT gets treated correctly.
You are correct with respect to the amortisation schedule at year-end. You cannot simply take 12 months of the deferred finance charges, as the finance charges are weighted heavily in the earlier months.
