Truck Insurance Accounting: Essential Information
What is Truck Insurance? Why is it Necessary?
Truck insurance provides financial protection, mitigating financial risks in case of unforeseen events like accidents, fires, or theft. By paying premiums to an insurance company, you’re covered for repair costs and damages (as per the insurance policy) if such incidents occur.
Truck insurance isn’t just a legal obligation (for compulsory TPL insurance) but also a way to protect yourself and your “companion on the road.”
Common Types of Truck Insurance
Currently, there are two common types of truck insurance:
- Compulsory Third Party Liability (TPL) Insurance: This mandatory insurance is required for all truck owners by law. It covers damages to third-party individuals and property caused by your truck.
- Comprehensive Truck Insurance (Hull Insurance): This optional insurance protects your truck itself. In case of accidents, fires, theft, etc., it covers repair and replacement costs.
How to Account for Truck Insurance Premiums?
Accounting for truck insurance premiums depends on the purpose of the vehicle:
- For Personal Trucks: Premiums are usually accounted for as personal expenses.
- For Commercial Trucks: Premiums are considered business operating expenses. Specifically, they are recorded under account 642 – External Service Costs.
Example: Mr. Minh (owner of a Thaco Forland truck transporting construction materials in Ha Dong) purchases comprehensive insurance for his truck with a premium of 10 million VND. His accountant would record it as follows:
- Debit Account 141 – Input VAT: (if applicable)
- Debit Account 642 – External Service Costs: 10,000,000 VND
- Credit Account 111/112: 10,000,000 VND
