HI


Can anyone help me. The company i work for is fairly new so they hire in vehicles for use in transporting clients' deceased relatives. At the moment i am using Nominal code 7401 car hire as a direct cost to company but not sure if that is right as the charge is passed on to the client.


Thanks

Hi Dominic,

I agree with your treating the expenditure as an expense rather than debiting sales.

However code 7401 is classed as an overhead in the sage P&L template. As the expense is passed onto the client via the raising of a sales invoice, I would be tempted to use a nominal code within the 6000 range as this will then be classifioed as a direct cost and, in my opinion, give a more meaninful value to your gross profit figure.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ian

Spot on I agree with how you would treagt that I would use somthing in the 6000 range as it will also make it easier to esnure that all the recharges have been done as it would  not have any general hire in it. There is also the benefit of givinv you a correct Gross Profit figure.

Kind regards
Stuart
