Buy computer in 2020, invoice in 2021

[Lucas Rolff]

Hi,

If I buy a computer in 2020 (which is paid this year as well), since the shipment first takes place in 2021, and thus also the invoice first being issued in 2021 (e.g. the 15th or the 20th of January), is there (legal) a way to put this expense on the 2020 accounting (I assume BTW would still go on the first quarter of 2021).

Ideally I would like to get it on this year's expenses (and thus slightly lowering the taxable income), but I'm not sure whether this is even possible in NL (In Denmark where I'm originally from, we can deduct it on the previous year, if the invoice arrives shortly within the new year).

If it is possible, how would this actually be done in Acumulus? I found https://wiki.acumulus.nl/index.php?page=vooruitontvangen-bedragen-te-ontvangen-bedragen which is the "reverse" - where this assumes I'm the seller and not the buyer.

Thanks in advance, and happy holidays to everyone!

There is another page
https://wiki.acumulus.nl/index.php?page=overlopende-kosten    Nog te betalen bedragen (overlopende passiva)

You  can make a "zakelijke uitgave, investering" in 2020 (date you confirmed the  order) without BTW (BTW is in 2021 on the actual date of invoice)

But before we go on with this: it will only get you a benefit if you get KIA (investering more than € 2400). If you don't, there will only be "afschrijving" of price (ex BTW) / 5 / 12
Unless you are a starter (less than 3 - 5 years entrepeneur)

Thanks a lot Annalies!

Luckily I do benefit from KIA this year, so it's still quite a bit! Obviously without KIA, the "afschrijving" amount would be very little and wouldn't make much sense!
