If I give my friend some money on a regular basis to pay back a loan and they deposit that into their personal account, do they have to declare that as income?

Personal Loan

If it is a personal loan they should not have to declare the loan amounts they are receiving back as income.

Chart of Accounts Refundable Overcharge

by Dave Black
(London, England)

Chart of Accounts Refundable Charge

Chart of Accounts Refundable Charge

In a small non-profit making set-up, in the year 08_09 I charged a client for £300.00. Neither I nor my client had noticed this at the time.

I now find, preparing my annual accounts, that the amount charged should have been £250.00 (an overcharge of £50.00).

I do not want to show this as Income & Expense profit for 08_09, but would rather credit the client towards a future payment – keeping the ‘refund’ at asset level.

I have never met with this type of ‘negative number’ problem before. How do I do this in an accrual double-entry accounts system, and account for this on the chart of accounts and balance sheet?

Chart of Accounts Transfers Between Checking and Savings

Chart of Accounts Bank Account Transfers

I've transferred from my main account to my savings account as an owners draw but now I transfer back to the main account. How is this deligated? To what account?

Hi,

Thanks for your question. Your initial transfer should have posted as follows:

CREDIT Main Account
DEBIT Savings Account

Therefore, the transfer back would simply reverse the original entry as follows:

DEBIT Main Account
CREDIT Savings Account

Loan B2B Categories
by: Stephanie

The JE for the business #1 transferring the money to business #2 would be:

DEBIT Loan TO B2B (Other Asset)
CREDIT Bank Account (Asset)

When business #1 receives payment back for the loan the JE would be:

DEBIT Bank Account (Asset)
CREDIT Loan to B2B (Other Asset)
CREDIT Interest Income (Other Income)

The JE for the business receiving the money would be:

DEBIT Bank Account (Asset)
CREDIT Loan FROM B2B (Liability)

When business #2 makes a payment to business #1 for the loan the JE would be:

DEBIT Loan FROM B2B (Liability)
DEBIT Interest Expense (Other Expense)
CREDIT Bank Account (Asset)

asset or equity for a loan to B2B
by: Anonymous

Answer does not address the question.

For Business #1, which category type to list in the chart of accounts?

Owners equity or asset for an unpaid loan?

Transfers Between Businesses
by: Anonymous

I believe any money given to another business when both businesses are owned by the same people would be considered a loan. So the check deposited in company #2 should be shown as:

Debit Bank
Credit Loan from Company #1
