Recording and treatment of capital purchases

I've just started to use Solar and must state as a 'non accountant' how impressed I am with it. I will certainly be purchasing.

Is there any information posted on the above please?

Hi Barry,

We don't have a help topic on recording a capital purchase - just record it as a Money Paid Out transaction allocated to an appropriate asset account.

To record depreciation on the asset, see here:

If you are on the Flat Rate Scheme for VAT and want to reclaim the VAT on your purchase, see here:

Cheers,
