How does vat affect the accounting equation?

The VAT can affect the accounting equation in two different ways. The accounting equation is ASSET=CAPITAL+LIABILITIES So, if VAT is OWED from HMRC (receivable) it will be an asset, so the asset will increase and the Capital will increase as well. ASSET+X=CAPITAL+X+LIABILITIES, where X is the amount of VAT received. If VAT is owed TO HMRC (payable), then the liabilities will increase, which means that the capital will decrease with the same amount. ASSET=(CAPITAL-Y)+(LIABILITIES+Y) where Y is the amount of VAT to be paid.
