Into the book
· Account subjects that are easy to confuse

- Trade receivables (asset) and accounts receivable (asset)

The name of the receivable for selling goods and products and receiving the payment at a later date is 'accounts receivable', and the name of the receivable for disposing of non-current assets and receiving the payment at a later date is 'accounts receivable'.


- Accounts payable (liabilities), accounts payable (liabilities), accrued expenses (liabilities)

When purchasing goods on credit, the amount to be paid in the future is usually called 'credit accounts payable'.
However, in accounting principles, the name of credit is specified so that when inventory assets such as goods and raw materials are purchased on credit and the amount to be paid later is called 'credit payables', when non-current assets such as land, buildings, machinery and vehicles are purchased on credit, it is called 'accounts payable', and when expenses are not paid, it is called 'accounts payable'.


- Prepaid funds (asset), prepaid expenses (asset)

An advance payment is an amount paid in advance before receiving goods, etc.
On the other hand, in the case where a service is provided according to a certain contract and the price is paid but the service provision period has not yet expired at the time of settlement, the cost corresponding to the remaining service provision period is prepaid, and in order to accurately calculate the profit and loss for the period, the prepaid cost is replaced with the corresponding cost in the following year.
For example, there are unexpired amounts for insurance premiums, rent, interest expenses, and surety insurance premiums.


- Miscellaneous expenses (selling and administrative expenses), miscellaneous losses (non-operating losses)

Expenses that are small in amount and infrequently incurred, and are not classified as other expenses, are treated as ‘miscellaneous expenses’ and expenses that are not related to operating activities are treated as ‘miscellaneous losses’.


- Raw materials (assets) and raw material costs (manufacturing expenses)

Raw materials is an account subject that a manufacturing company handles when purchasing raw materials, materials, etc. used in the manufacture of products.
Raw materials are assets until they are used in the manufacture of a product, and are replaced with raw materials cost, which is a cost item, at the time they are used in the manufacture of a product.


- Costs related to the acquisition of assets
Costs such as transportation costs related to the acquisition of assets shall be calculated based on the acquisition price of the asset.

① If transportation costs are paid in connection with the purchase of goods or raw materials, the transportation costs are processed in the ‘Goods’ or ‘Raw Materials’ account.
② Expenses related to the acquisition of land, buildings, vehicles, etc. (land grading costs, registration tax, acquisition tax, legal fees, etc.) are included in the acquisition price of the relevant assets (land, buildings, vehicles, etc.).
③ All expenses related to the acquisition of imported goods (customs duties, insurance premiums, transportation costs, etc.) are processed as the acquisition price of the imported goods.
④ In principle, repair costs for depreciable assets such as machinery and equipment, buildings, etc. are treated as repair costs.
The cost of repairs that increase or improve the value or extend the useful life of an asset is treated as a capital expenditure in the machinery and equipment or building account. Such expenditures are called 'capital expenditures'.


· Vehicle transport equipment accounting examples

- Vehicle purchase and accounting

① 《Purchase of a cargo vehicle》 A contract was signed with Hyundai Motor Sales Co., Ltd. to purchase a commercial cargo vehicle, and the remaining balance, excluding the deposit of 1,200,000 won, was to be paid to Hyundai Capital Co., Ltd. in 24 monthly installments.
(Vehicle price 12,000,000 won, VAT 1,200,000 won)

6. Deposit of 12,000,000 won and other acquisition costs of 1,000,000 won (acquisition tax, certificate of deposit, safety association fee, recognition fee, credit loan fee, public bond purchase discount fee, etc.)
22 Withdraw and pay from Kookmin Bank's regular deposit.


Advance payment 1,200,000 / Savings deposit 2,200,000
Vehicle transport equipment 1,000,000

* In cases where government bonds, etc. are inevitably purchased in connection with the acquisition of tangible assets, the difference between the purchase price of the bonds and the present value assessed in accordance with corporate accounting standards may be considered the acquisition price.

② 《Receipt of tax invoice for vehicle purchase》 6.
25. Receive a purchase tax invoice for vehicle purchase.
(Supply price 12,000,000 won, tax 1,200,000 won)

Vehicle transport equipment 12,000,000 / Advance payment 1,200,000
Value added tax payment 1,200,000, unpaid amount 12,000,000

* When acquiring a non-commercial passenger vehicle, the purchase tax cannot be deducted, so the value-added tax payment is included in the acquisition price of the vehicle.

③ 《Vehicle Installment Principal and Interest Payment》 The vehicle installment principal of 500,000 won and installment interest of 80,000 won are automatically transferred from Kookmin Bank’s regular deposit account.


* Installment principal (500,000) = [Vehicle price (13,200,000) - Deposit (1,200,000)] ÷ 24 months

Accounts payable 500,000 / Savings deposit 580,000
Interest expense 80,000

- Public bond purchase and discount

Only the amount actually borne due to the purchase and discount of public bonds can be included in the vehicle transport cost.
However, if public bonds are purchased and discounted later rather than immediately, interest for the holding period will be incurred, and the accounting treatment for this is as follows.

① Purchase of Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Bonds on November 12, 2012 for 1,860,000 won

Securities 1,860,000 / Savings 1,860,000

② After selling the 11/13 public bonds to a securities firm, deposit 1,644,550 won into the account.

[Details] Purchase price: 1,860,000 won, Selling price: 1,652,610 won, Prepaid interest: 1,830 won
Fee: 9,900 won, customer burden: 215,450 won

* Customer contribution (KRW 215,450): KRW 207,390 + KRW 9,900 - KRW 1,834
* Loss on disposal of marketable securities: ① Purchase amount (KRW 1,860,000) - ② Sale amount (KRW 1,652,610)

Savings: 1,644,550 / Marketable securities: 1,860,000
Loss on disposal of marketable securities: 207,390, interest income: 1,830
Payment fee 9,900

* Payment fees may be included in the loss on disposal of marketable securities.


- Accounting when selling a vehicle

《Vehicle Sale》 Sell the vehicle and issue a tax invoice.
The vehicle sales price of 4,400,000 won (including tax) is received in cash.


Book value 6,000,000 won = Acquisition price 14,000,000 won - Accumulated depreciation 8,000,000 won
Cash 4,400,000 / Vehicles 14,000,000
Accumulated depreciation 8,000,000 / VAT deposit 400,000
Loss on disposal of tangible assets 2,000,000

- Loss on disposal of tangible assets: Book value (KRW 6,000,000) - Disposal price (KRW 4,000,000)
- When disposing of a vehicle, it is not necessary to record depreciation expenses for the current period, but in the case of an intervening business operator, losses on disposal of tangible assets are not recognized as necessary expenses, so depreciation expenses up to the month of disposal are recorded.


· Miscellaneous wages (daily worker wages)

Miscellaneous wages refer to daily wages for daily workers whose employment period is less than 3 months (1 year in the construction industry).
A daily worker is a person who receives wages calculated based on the work performance of the day or hour in which work is provided, and who does not fall under any of the following:


* Workers other than construction workers and port workers who have been continuously employed by a specific employer for more than 3 months under an employment contract
* Unloading (port) workers: Those who do not receive wages on the days they work, but receive regular compensation for their work.
* Construction workers: Those who have been continuously employed by the same employer for more than one year.
If a person engaged in construction work has been continuously employed by the same employer for more than one year, withholding tax is withheld from the month in which the first anniversary date falls, as if the person were a regular wage earner.


- Distinction between salary, wages, and miscellaneous pay

* Salary: Wages for employees primarily engaged in sales and general management work.
* Wages: Wages for employees working in manufacturing production sites
* Miscellaneous wages: Labor costs (daily wages) for daily workers??

- 4 major insurance policies for daily workers

* Exemptions from health insurance: Daily workers employed for less than one month or part-time workers with less than 60 working hours per month
* Those excluded from National Pension subscription: Daily workers employed for less than one month or part-time workers with less than 60 working hours per month
* Exemptions from employment insurance: Workers whose monthly working hours are less than 60 hours
* Industrial Accident Insurance: All workers are eligible to subscribe.


- Tax reporting for daily workers

Obligation to submit daily worker payment statements (Article 164, Paragraph 1 of the Income Tax Act)

In the case of daily worker's employment income, if the employment contract ends during the taxable period, it must be submitted by the end of the month following the last month of the quarter in which the employment contract ends.
Therefore, when paying earned income to daily workers, a payment statement must be submitted by the end of the following month of the quarter (the end of February of the following year for earned income paid in the fourth quarter). If the statement is not submitted, a surcharge for failure to submit a payment statement equivalent to 2/100 of the payment amount must be levied.


- Miscellaneous wages proof documents

Obtain the signature of the person receiving the daily wages on the daily labor cost payment statement (or daily worker wage payment ledger) and attach a copy of the front and back of the resident registration card or resident registration certificate that can verify the daily worker's identity.
And keep documents that can verify payment (payment proof documents from a financial institution, such as a bankbook deposit slip).


- Case of miscellaneous accounting treatment

As of 2014, the amount of [(daily wage - 100,000 won) × 2.7%] is withheld from the daily wages of daily workers and reported and paid to the competent tax office by the 10th of the following month.


- Collection and payment of income tax for daily workers

For daily wages of 150,000 won or less, no earned income tax is levied as it is tax-exempt. For daily wages exceeding 100,000 won, 2.7% of the excess amount is withheld as earned income tax, and 10% of the earned income tax is withheld as local income tax. These must be reported and paid to the tax office in charge by the 10th day of the month following the payment date, and a payment statement must be submitted by the end of the month following the quarter in which the payment date falls.


- Calculating daily workers' income tax

(Daily payment amount - 150,000 won) × 6% - Tax deduction (Calculated tax amount × 55%)
① Daily wage - Non-taxable wage = Taxable wage
② Taxable wages - earned income deduction (KRW 150,000) = earned income tax base
③ Wage income tax base × withholding tax rate (6%) = Wage income tax amount
④ Calculated income tax - Calculated income tax credit (55% of calculated tax) = Daily worker withholding tax

- Local income tax on daily wages

Income tax × 10%

- Payment of daily worker income tax and local income tax

Daily workers must pay income tax and local income tax (10% of income tax) by the 10th day of the month following the month in which payment was made.


- Small-scale collection of daily wage income tax

Small-amount withholding tax is not collected if the total amount of income tax to be withheld for each income earner at the time of payment is less than KRW 1,000.


- Whether or not daily workers' overtime and night work allowances are taxable

In the case of daily workers engaged in production work (construction workers are not included), regardless of the monthly fixed salary, the salary received in addition to the regular wage due to overtime or night work (without limit) is exempt from taxation.


- Whether or not a spouse deduction is available if the spouse of a wage earner is a daily worker

Daily earned income is separately taxed income, and if the spouse of a wage earner is a daily worker, the spouse deduction can be received regardless of the spouse's daily earned income amount.
