If you are claiming VAT as input credit on Capital Goods, then trasnfer the VAt of Rs 54k to a separate account under the head current Assets as V AT Input Credit(Capital Goods). If you are not availaing the input credit then show the VAt paid as cost of the car. Insurance charges will be debited to prepaid insurance and not to the cost of the car. road tax will be debited to the cost of the car

First time insurance charges should be capitalized in the cost of car.
Subsequent renewals of insurance should be charged to revenue account in the manner mentioned by Mr. Giridhar
Reason being one can not put the car in use before getting it insured
AS-10 requires that all cost directly attributable for bringing asset to its inteneded use should be capitalized.

Agree with irfancpa
i think service tax input is not avilable becouse Insurance charge has been Capitalised .

An output service provider shall be allowed to take credit of the service tax paid on such input services, which fall in the same category of taxable service as that of output service
If not then you are consumer not entitled to claim the credit. In your case it doesn't appear that credit can be availed
I think its clear but still
car [cost and non refundable taxes (VAT+ ST) + insurance + road tax etc)
subsequent insurance
insurance exp (current period)
prepaid insurance
to bank
insurance exp
to prepaid insurance

Amount to be capitalised = Rs 530186 less car insurance.
Also,the service charge is to be deducted if and only if in terms of agreement there is future service/maintainance charges which the company had paid it now.
That would also be treated a pre paid expenses as well,and would require to be deducted from the amount.
No input credit on car VAT available since you puracse this fixed asset not for resale but for your company's use,thus,it will include under the cost of asset.
insurance will be a revenue expense.

Insurance is an annual reccurring expenditure. Also, not only for the first time, every year, without insurance the car cannot be used. Therefore i feel, the insurance to be charged to revenue and not to be capitalized.
