It is very common for businesses to purchase major assets such as motor vehicles via a loan. They can use a commercial bank loan but often finance is “purchased” by way of either Hire Purchase or a Chattel Mortgage.
Chattel Mortgage - a mortgage on a movable item of property. Under a Chattel Mortgage a finance company lends money to the customer to purchase a car or other motor vehicle (the "chattel"), and the customer makes regular repayments.
It is called a “mortgage” because the financier retains the title of the item purchased until the final payment is received. The GST is claimable at the time of the purchase
The allowable depreciation and interest payments are tax deductible
The full amount of the purchase can be financed including an upfront deposit and/or trade-in

The
disposal of a capital asset in Australia, in the course of carrying on
your business, is a taxable sale and you are required to account for GST
on that sale. This applies even if the asset was purchased before 1
July 2000 or the asset is sold to an individual who is not in business
(a private sale).

Paid Parental Leave Scheme
I worked for a company which had to pay Parental Leave to one of its employee.
- Each fortnight we got payment from Centerlink. I had to download and print a letter from Centerlink to file in an employee folder for archiving purposes.
- The money were paid into the company account. In accounting software I created 3 new accounts: Liability Account "Parental Leave Funds" (2 - other Liability), Income Account "Parental Leave Received" (8 - other Income) and Expense Account "Parental Leave Paid" (6 - Expense).
- Each time the company got the money from Centerlink I credited the Liability Account. Entries: Bank - DR, Parental Leave Funds - CR. In MYOB Banking - Receive Money, Tax Inclusive.
- Payroll category: I created a new Wages category: Parental Leave (it replaces Salary, thus place tick next to Salary). Also tick Override Wages Expense Account and Select the newly created Parental Leave Paid Account.
Payroll category: Tick Exempt on Superannuation tab. - MYOB: Card of the employee - Payroll Details - Standard Pay - Parental Leave category to the amount that is to be paid each pay period. All the other fields - 0.
- The money stays in the Liability account and needs to be cleared each time the payment is made. Entries: Parental Leave Funds - DR, Parental Leave Received - CR. In MYOB Accounts - Record Journal Entry.
- And the last but not the least, Once the employee returns to work, In MYOB open the employee card and click Reset to Original Amounts (on top).
