Entering a capital asset built over time
You can create a Work in Progress account for entering withdrawals allocated to an asset, such as a barn or a bin, being built over a period of time. Set up an account numbered 1801 and call it Work in Progress – buildings.
You'll receive bills as your build progresses. Every time you write a cheque, you can add it to the Work in Progress account. GST can be claimed on a second line.
Enter your cheques until the build is complete. Once you've made all the payments, take the full amount in the Work in Progress account and turn it into a single capital asset.
