I currently finance a personal work van that I use 100% for our business, 0% personal use. How can I set it up as a business expense? or is it an asset? Thanks in advance

Thanks for reaching out to the Community space, @chavianohandyman.

 

You can set up a fixed asset account for this in the Chart of Accounts. This way, you can track and enter any payments associated with that vehicle.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear⚙ icon or Accounting tab.
  2. Select Chart of Accounts.
  3. Click New
  4. In the Account Type drop-down enter Fixed Assets.
  5. In the Detail Type drop-down select Vehicles.
  6. Enter the necessary information.
  7. Select Save and Close.

However, I'd suggest consulting an accountant. They can provide more expert advice in dealing with this concern to ensure your book is accurate.
