Selling An Asset (equipment) Self Employed

Hello Neil Evans, 

It could be business income, but we are not trained accountants, we are just technical support. I would advise you reach out and speak to an accountant they will be able to tell you how to record this. 

Hello Neil,

Having looked into this there is no way to put this into Quickbooks itself it is not an allowable expense, however on the sa103f on hmrcs web page you can put this in box 29 and also as to go in box 44 if you look at both these links it will help you with your query. Hope this helps you.

Seems very limiting that you can't record selling an asset in QB SE. Do I have to choose a different piece of software to do this?

How should the automated bank payment be recorded to get it excluded from the P&L?

Or just run a separate spreadsheet? All becomes quite messy.

This is not the impression we want you to have when trying to use the QuickBooks Self-Employed, @VinceJ.

The said software is a single-entry bookkeeping program that helps you record your self-employed income and expenses, track mileage, and prepare your Schedule C. Recording sold assets is currently unavailable. 

As an option, you can utilize QuickBooks Online to help you record the transactions. Please see this link to help you purchase one: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/ph/pricing/.

Regarding automated bank payment, If you add or categorize transactions in QBSE, it will be included in your P&L. If you don't want this to be involved, you can simply exclude them.

Otherwise, you can run another separate spreadsheet for your own records.
