What is investment in fixed capital
Investments in fixed capital are understood (section II of Rosstat order No. 746 dated November 25, 2016):
- costs of creation, reconstruction (modernization) of facilities, purchase of machinery, equipment, inventory, classified from an accounting point of view as non-current assets;
- investments in intellectual property;
- investments in biological resources.
Investments in fixed capital can be made both at the expense of one’s own funds and at the expense of borrowed (or received as assistance) funds, within the framework of exchange agreements and equity participation agreements.
Investments in fixed capital do not include the cost of acquiring assets whose price is less than 40,000 rubles, except for cases when these assets are reflected in accounting as fixed assets.
The following are not recognized as investments in the fixed capital of an organization:
- purchase of fixed assets that were previously on the balance sheet of third-party organizations;
- costs of purchasing apartments in multi-apartment residential buildings;
- purchase of land plots, environmental management facilities;
- concluding lease agreements, purchasing licenses, purchasing goodwill, marketing connections (related to non-produced assets in accordance with the system of national accounts).
A synonym for the concept of “investment in fixed capital” is “capital investments” (Article 1 of the Law “On Investment Activities” dated February 25, 1999 No. 39-FZ).
It should be noted that investments in fixed assets (as opposed to, in fact, fixed capital) are outside the jurisdiction of the main sources of law governing the accounting of fixed assets - Order of the Ministry of Finance dated October 13, 2003 No. 91n, as well as PBU 6/01. What rules of law should be considered as guiding principles when accounting for capital investments?

Accounting for investments in fixed assets: basic regulatory standards
The legislator's main attention is paid to accounting for the results of investments - directly the fixed capital listed on the organization's balance sheet. As soon as fixed capital is formed and reflected in accounting at its original cost, it already falls under the jurisdiction of the specified rules of law - order No. 91n and PBU 6/01.
Until the moment an object of fixed assets is registered, an accountant can legally be guided by only one source of law - Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated October 31, 2000 No. 94n, which introduces charts of accounts used by private enterprises.
How to account for investments in fixed capital according to Order No. 94n (on accounting accounts)
The order in question introduces account 08 “Investments in non-current assets”, which can be legally used to reflect investments on the balance sheet of an enterprise as accounting objects. But as soon as the result of these investments is the manufacture or acquisition of a fixed asset, its accounting is kept in another account - 01 “Fixed Assets”, and this accounting is regulated, as we noted above, by the norms of Order No. 91n and PBU 6/01.
Account 08 “Investments in non-current assets” can reflect costs incurred from any sources of financing:
- own;
- borrowed;
- allocated from the budget.
Account 08 reflects the costs of creating, modernizing, as well as maintaining the enterprise’s capacities, purchasing equipment, machinery and other production and non-production fixed assets.
This is evidenced by the provisions of clause 1.2.1 of the Recommendations for accounting in agricultural cooperatives, approved by the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia on January 25, 2001. Based on the principle of legal analogy, due to the absence of other industry norms, this formulation can also be applied to enterprises in other areas not related to agriculture.
An enterprise, when accounting for investments in fixed assets, can open various sub-accounts to account 08 if necessary. For example, if capital investments are made in the independent production of an asset, then subaccount 08.03 “Construction of fixed assets” can be used. If an asset is purchased, subaccount 08.04 “Purchase of fixed assets” is used.
Account 08 of the Chart of Accounts is rightfully classified as active. That is, its debit reflects directly investments in working capital, and its credit reflects the write-off of the enterprise’s costs in the process of capitalizing certain assets. The entries in this account reflect the monetary value of business transactions on an accrual basis from the beginning of the reporting year.

Let us now study the nuances of accounting for investments in fixed assets using the specified account and its subaccounts in more detail.
Investments in OS can be made in the form of:
- investments in independent production of funds;
- investments in the production of funds using contractors;
- purchases of ready-made funds.

Accounting for capital investments on account 08: OS production
Accounting for funds produced by an enterprise independently in an economic way is carried out during the following business transactions:
1. Payment of wages to employees involved in the production of fixed assets. This payment is made by posting:
Dt 08.03 Kt 70 - the accrual of the actual salary is reflected;
Dt 08.03 Kt 69.01 (02, 03, 04) - the accrual of contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the Social Insurance Fund, and the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund is reflected on wages.
2. Acceptance of equipment into the production workshop for the purpose of installing it on the fixed asset facility being created. This operation is reflected in the register using the following entries:
Dt 08.03 Ct 07.
3. Acceptance of materials into the production workshop for the purpose of their use in the creation of fixed assets. The following correspondence applies here:
Dt 08.03 Kt 10.
4. Implementation of other expenses not classified within the above operations, but directly related to the creation of an item of fixed assets, which characterize the corresponding operations. For example, these may be costs associated with paying for the services of transport companies. They are reflected in the registers by posting:
Dt 03/08 Kt 60.
Thus, the main accounting objects within the framework of investing in fixed assets will be:
- expenses for labor, equipment, materials;
- expenses for third party services.
In turn, if an enterprise, investing in the production of fixed assets, attracts contractors, then the cost of work performed by these contractors (excluding VAT) is reflected in the debit of account 08 and the credit of account 60. VAT is reflected in the debit of account 19.01.
Another way to invest in OS is to purchase ready-made assets.

Accounting for capital investments: purchasing OS
Business transactions that characterize this option for investing in fixed assets are reflected on almost the same principle as in the case of registration of transactions involving the services of contractors during the construction of fixed assets. That is, provided:
- reflecting expenses for the purchase of fixed assets in the debit of account 08 and the credit of account 60;
- when accounting for VAT on the debit of account 19.01.
In addition, if additional spare parts and tools are supplied to fixed assets, their cost can be reflected in the debit of account 10.05. If necessary, other subaccounts of account 10 can be used. For example, subaccount 10.03, if gasoline is supplied along with the fixed asset represented by a car. Or - subaccount 10.09, if the main asset, for example represented by a tractor, is also supplied with agricultural implements (mowers, winnowers).
Fixed assets are accepted for operation at the generated initial cost, and the corresponding business transaction is reflected by posting Dt 01 KT 08. After this, the enterprise accounts for the fixed asset accepted on the balance sheet according to the standards established by the above federal regulations.
You can learn more about the features of accounting using postings to account 08 in the article “08 accounting account (nuances)” .
How to choose a broker?
When choosing an intermediary in the securities market, start with basic precautions:
- First, you need to check your intermediary - a broker or a bank - for reliability. On the official website of the Central Bank there is a list of companies that have a brokerage license and can legally conduct transactions on the stock exchange;
- It is better not to resort to the services of foreign brokers: their activities in Russia are not yet regulated. If disputes and troubles arise, clients of such companies will not be able to defend themselves in a Russian court;
- Analyze the market comprehensively. Brokers offer a variety of tariffs - with a high and low degree of risk, different amounts at the start of investing, high or moderate commissions. The final profitability largely depends on a well-chosen tariff.
Results
Investing in fixed assets (making capital investments) refers to the process in which an enterprise invests capital in the creation, modernization or purchase of fixed assets. Before this object is accepted on the balance sheet, account 08 is used to account for investment in it. Afterwards, accounting for the fixed assets object is carried out using account 01 (in accordance with the norms of PBU 06/01 and corresponding sources of law).
