Hi All,
Not a new user, Its just been a while and the forum didnt recognise my email address to reset my password.
I have a question about the best accounting practice for the cycle to work scheme.
I get that you can claim AIA on it, or 20% if AIA is absorbed, and i dont have issue with this. my actual question i guess is how to actually account for it in the books. depreciation, payments received from salary sacrifice etc.
All our agreements are over one year only, from the month of purchase.
Have "googled" it, and nothing really clear stands out...
If anyone could lend some wisdom in this area, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Are you sure your not allowed 100% FYA under the enviromental aspect ? ring HMRC they will clarify0 -
Sorry I don't have an answer but I am curious as to what AIA and FYA stand for0
-
AIA = Annual Investment Allowance
FYA = First Year Allowance0 -
Thank you Mini. Feel silly asking but if I dont ask I will never learn.

The NVQ seems to cover different things than the diploma thought I may have missed something
Russell is very cute.
Sorry M_H I have hijacked your thread, going to look into AIA and FYA now0 -
simular exams apart from MAC for diploma which ive been told covers the same subject matter as NVQ0

Hi M H,
I have been running the cycle scheme for our workers since 2006 and our auditors seem happy with our practice which is as follows
New bike is treated as an asset added to the FA register and depreciated on a straight line basis over three years.
We pay weekly so the wage deductions are posted through to a new nominal code (cycle scheme payments) which is income in the P&L. Workers pay for the cycle hire over three years at which point we sell the the bike to them at 2.5% of cost which goes as a profit on SOFA. In theory this is largely profital neutral if you assume that the proceeds on disposal and the saving on employers NI balance out against the cost of the interest free loan.
Hopefully that is clear if not please say so
Cheers0 -
Matt - Thanks for your reply.
Hopefully this will help!
Everyone else - thread jack apology accepted :-)
Good luck if waiting on results today!
