Cash documents and accountable amounts
Purchasing monetary documents by bank transfer, as a rule, does not cause difficulties or questions for an accountant, while transactions of accountable persons with monetary documents have features that are important to remember.
Let's look at an example. Let manager Sidorov A.A. received an order from management to purchase air tickets. For this purpose, he was given 27 thousand rubles for the report. The tickets are intended for employee I.I. Ivanov, whom the company sent on a business trip. Sidorov purchased 2 tickets: round trip at a price of 10 and 12 thousand rubles, respectively, including VAT. The VAT rate on air tickets is 10%. VAT is highlighted on the ticket.
The following entries will be made:
- Dt 71 Kt 50.1 - 27,000.00 rub. - issued to Sidorov A.A. to report for the purchase of tickets for Ivanov I.I.
- Dt 50.1 Kt 71 - 5000.00 rub. — Sidorov A.A. returned the balance of the unused accountable amount to the cashier.
- Dt 50-3 Kt 71 - 10,000.00 rub.
- Dt 50-3 Kt 71 — 12000.00 rub. — purchased by Sidorov A.A. were capitalized tickets.
- Dt 71 Kt 50-3 - 22000, 00 - tickets for the trip were issued to Ivanov. I.I.
The VAT amount for 1 ticket is RUB 909.09. The VAT amount for the 2nd ticket is RUB 1,090.91.
- Dt 19 Kt 71 - 2000.00 (909.09+1090.91) rub. — VAT deductible on purchased tickets
- Dt 44 Kt 71 - 20000.00 (9090.91+10909.09) rub. - based on the av. report of Ivanov I.I. The cost of tickets is included in expenses, excluding VAT.
By the way! Monetary documents that have no time interval between their storage and use are not reflected in account 50.3, but are immediately included in the supporting documents of the advance report. For example, a used ticket purchased by a business traveler at the ticket office of a transport company is not reflected in account 50.3.
Please note that in relation to coupons for fuel and lubricants, the definition of “monetary documents” is not always applicable. Coupons received from the supplier after prepayment must have value indicators, and not natural, liter ones. Only in this case are they recognized as monetary documents. Fuel cards, as another option for purchasing fuel, are also problematic to recognize as monetary documents, since they lack a cost indicator.
Postings for “cash” coupons for fuel and lubricants can be made as follows:
- Dt 60 Kt 51 - an advance payment has been made to the supplier.
- Dt 50.3 Kt 60 - coupons received.
- Dt 71 Kt 50.3 - coupons were issued to the dispatcher for reporting.
- Dt 20 Kt 71 - the dispatcher reported on the use of coupons. The cars were in main production.
