Following feedback from several users regarding the handling of negative disallowed expenses (DE) for car costs (adjustment to the opening balance of the reserves), we have decided to no longer automatically transfer a negative DE for car costs to code 1056.
Why this change?
The feedback revealed significant differences in interpretation between firms regarding the adjustment of the opening balance of the reserves for car costs. According to the tax authorities, a negative DE resulting from an "excessive" BIK cannot be recovered (cf. Ci.RH.243/633.725). For this reason, we have decided to let users choose for themselves whether they want to manually transfer a negative balance to code 1056.
Configuration option for firms
For firms that explicitly wish to keep the automatic transfer to code 1056, we have added a configuration option. Here's how to set it up:
- At firm level, go to Templates > Client configurations > Workflow configurations
- Select the tax year and the mapping list to which you want to apply the setting, and click "Make editable" (if this button appears). It's possible this button has already been enabled and therefore doesn't show up — in that case, proceed directly to the next step.
- Next, find the item Car costs (Disallowed expenses) in the list.
- Check the setting "Link to code 1056" and save.
