  • Self assessment/recording van purchase/accruals basis accounting

    Hi, I purchased a van for £15k in Aug 2023 as a sole trader NOT using simplified expenses while waiting for decision on a grant application we had made to our local council due to the introduction of a Clean Air Zone. We received the grant £4k (approx) - how do I account for it and over how many years is it an asset? Please don't send me a heap of links I can't understand. I just want to know I am recording this correctly in the accounts. Sole Trader so have no accountant. Thank you

    Oh my goodness. that is an awful lot of links! Are you not able to just provide information based on my specific circumstances? If not, can I get that anywhere else eg business support area if it exists? I don't have an accountant. Thank you
