Accounting & BookkeepingAccounting & Financial Management2MildBookkeeper
A bookkeeper is unable to find a specific accounting standard that requires including sales tax in the total expense for non-inventory, non-asset purchases like office supplies.
Existing accounting standards and software guidance clearly address sales tax treatment for inventory or asset purchases but lack explicit, easily findable rules for routine expense purchases like office supplies, causing uncertainty.
