FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets, also known as Business Tangible Assets or Property, Plant and Equipment, can be one of your major investments. Managing your fixed assets – in terms of knowing their status, locations, useful life, depreciated value and county tax calculations – is crucial to your bottom line. Lack of proper management may be costly (see below). Fixed assets differ from inventory and are not for resale. They include:
- Land
- Real Estate
- Leasehold Improvement
- Vehicles
- Machinery
- Computer Equipment & Peripherals
- Computer Software
- Furniture & Fixtures
- Intangible Assets – Trade Marks, Franchises
Poor management of assets can result in:
- Under reporting depreciation expenses resulting in overpayment of taxes.
- Loss of valuable assets through theft & pilferage.
- Over payment of county Tangible Business Tax.
- Over payment of Insurance due to over valuing assets.
- Miscalculation of Gains or Loss on sale of assets.
- Not knowing when to timely purchase an asset resulting in loss of income.
