What is a home currency adjustment?

Home currency adjustments change the home currency value of your foreign balances, recalculating them based on a new rate. These adjustments affect your balance sheet accounts.

Until you recalculate the home currency value of your foreign balances using current exchange rates, your reports show the home currency value based on the exchange rates you used at the time of each transaction.

At the end of a reporting period, when you need your financial reports to show a current home currency value of your foreign balances, you can enter a home currency adjustment.

We show the effect of a home currency adjustment to accounts payable or accounts receivable as an unrealized gain or loss. We show the effect of a home currency adjustment to other account types, like bank accounts, as a realized gain or loss.

Tip: We recommend that you work with an accounting professional before entering these adjustments.

Note: Home currency adjustments do no affect foreign balance accounts.

How do I create a home currency adjustment?

You must have multicurrency turned on to be able to create home currency adjustments.
To create a home currency adjustment:
  1. Select the Gear icon at the top.
  2. Under Lists, select Currencies.
  3. Find the currency you wish to make an adjustment for and in its Action column, click the downward-pointing arrow.
  4. Select Revalue currency to bring up the revalue screen.
  5. Select a date (today or a day in the past) to run a currency revaluation.
  6. Select whether you'd like the revaluation to be based on the market exchange rate or a rate you specify.
  7. Select the account(s) you want to apply the revaluation to.
  8. Click Revalue.
Important: For your books to stay accurate and compliant, we can only save one exchange rate per day per account. We use this exchange rate to calculate unrealized gain and/or losses.

Has the cost of any computer software acquired been treated correctly?

Risk Where a lump sum payment is made for the acquisition of a software licence, it will be accepted for tax purposes that the expenditure is revenue where the useful life of the software is expected to be less than two years. Where the expected useful life of the software is longer the correct tax treatment will depend on the circumstances, as set out in the explanation below. Mitigation Identify all payments for the acquisition of new software licences, and distinguish between regular periodical payments and lump sum payments. For any lump sum payments establish what the useful life of the software is expected to be for the business. For proprietors and partnerships where the expenditure is capitalised and the expected useful life is more than two years, any amortisation is not allowable as a revenue deduction, and a claim should be made for capital allowances. For companies the appropriate tax treatment will depend on the exact nature of the software involved. Effective from 6 ...

BREXIT AND VAT

The EVD has direct and over-riding effect on all EU Member States but local legislation is required because the EVD allows for countries to pick and choose certain rules. As a result, the local VAT rules across the EU are not always consistent. Why is this important when thinking about Brexit? It’s important because once the UK leaves the EU it will theoretically (but this is not certain) no longer be bound by the EVD. This means that the UK could have free reign to amend its VAT rules as it sees fit. For example, it would no longer be prevented from applying a reduced VAT rate on supplies of women’s sanitary products which is currently precluded under the EVD. Also, the rates of VAT applied to physical and digital newspapers and books (zero-rated and standard-rated respectively) could be harmonised without having to get the agreement of all 27 other EU Member States.
