I have not set up a company corporate bank account but I already have some business related expenses (eg. cost to incorporate a company). How should I record this in the monthly bookkeeping?

add-circle-line
indeterminate-circle-line

We will usually recommend companies to set up a corporate bank account as soon as possible once the company formation is done, so as to segregate the personal and company’s bank account. This is because a company is considered a separate legal entity from its shareholders.

If there are business expenses before the company bank account is up, we will classify them as “amount due to shareholders”.



I am a shareholder—how do I account for the money I have deposited or withdrawn from the company bank account?

add-circle-line
indeterminate-circle-line

First cash deposit after a corporate bank account is opened will usually be the paid-up capital. Subsequent cash injection or withdrawal from and to shareholders are considered “amount due to shareholders” and “amount due from shareholders” respectively.

Can I pay monthly or yearly salary to shareholders?

add-circle-line
indeterminate-circle-line

No. As shareholders are not considered employees of the company (they are owners of the company), it is not permitted for shareholders to be paid a salary unless they are also employees of the company.

What is Dext and how is it related to my Xero account or company’s bookkeeping?
