Purchases of printer & laptop (VAT exemption)

What I have learned from the few videos I have seen (only 10 days in), is that you can enter it in full, as long as you can prove that it is used professionally. If you need to print occasionally for your secondary occupation, then you simply need a printer.
During a tax audit, only that will be checked. How much it cost cannot be judged.

Thanks for the quick and clear response!

If you want to be completely accurate, enter your costs with a realistic distribution between professional and private use. When entering the invoice in Dexxter, you always have the option to do so. This way, you avoid any discussion with the tax authorities (aside: if you want to enter something as an expense, it is always a good idea to have your vAT number put on the invoice, even if you are exempted from VAT + for the tax authorities, it does not matter whether you pay for something with your private or business account, but it is a good idea to make the purchases you want to enter via your business account).

Given the price, nature, and costs, I think you will have to enter it as an investment: https://dexxter.be/investment-write-off-how-to-do-it-bookkeeping-style

Thank you. I would suggest a 30-70 split: 30 for business, 70 for private. But then the amount (30% of 599) is less than 250 euros. So then it probably can't be considered an investment?

I don't know if you'll get away with that with the tax authorities (if you ever get audited, of course). In my opinion, the private/company split doesn't play a role when it comes to investments, especially if you purchase the entire €599 for the company. You can't claim those amounts as expenses all at once because the printer is intended to be used for several years (the same goes for the laptop). But I'm not 100% sure about this.

Sorry for my string of questions. Do you mean that I should just enter the full amount as an investment? Over 3 or 5 years?

I would do it that way, yes: create an expense for the printer for EUR 599 with the category "investment" over 3 years, and enter 30-70 as the usage distribution.

If I may come back to this one more time . I can fill in that it is 30% professional use %, but then it shows an amount of 179.72 and I get a notification that the amount is less than €250 and therefore probably not an investment. Should I leave it as an investment at that low amount, despite the warning? I'm completely confused.

:) Then I would follow Dexxter's advice and not enter it as an investment. And maybe check with the specialists directly via the Dexxter chat.

Thanks for your angelic patience.

No problem. We are also learning every day :)
