How to write off receivables

If the debtor did not fulfill his debt payment obligations over three years, such debt is recognized by overdue receivables. The legislation is prescribed by the following rules for the write-off of receivables.

The limitation period may be interrupted by law in two cases: if for three years there have been any payments or was served in court. Thus, if for three years the debtor made some payments, then the limitation period begins again since the last payment and is also three years. If one of the enterprises is declared bankrupt, then the debt is annulled.

Before spending receivables, it is necessary to carry out an inventory. Based on the inventory, there is a write-off of the required amount into account, where the reserve of dubious debts is taken into account. Order of inventory - unified form No. Inv-22, in some accounting programs it is formed automatically.

If the company has no account to write off the reserve of dubious debts, the write-off of receivables occurs on non-deactive costs. In accounting, such expenses are taken into account on subaccount "Other expenses".
