    Gareth, a sales tax registered trader purchased a computer for use in his business. The invoice for the computer showed following costs related to purchase:

    Computer 890
    Additional memory 95
    Delivery 10
    Installation 20
    Maintenace 1 year 25
    Sles tax 182

    How much should Gareth capitalise as a non current asset in relation to the purchase?

    (A) $1,222
    (B) $1,040
    (C) $890
    (D) $1,015

    If the company is the final consumer of the computer, should it not support the tax?

    Many thanks for your help

    Total to be capitalised = 1,015

    If the purchaser is registered for sales tax, the sales tax is not capitalised.

    If the purchaser is not registered for sales tax, the sales tax would be capitalised – but that is not the case in this question.

    The tax is borne by the consumer who is not registered for sales tax.

    Thank you. I thougt that besides the purchaser is registered for sales tax, as he was the ultimate consumer, he should suffer the tax.
