contra asset account. Definition. A balance sheet account in the financial statements that offsets a related asset account. Contra asset accounts are subtracted from a related asset account since asset accounts have debit balances while contra assets have credit balances.
The natural balance in a contra asset account is a credit balance, as opposed to the natural debit balance in all other asset accounts. There is no reason for there to ever be a debit balance in a contra asset account; thus, a debit balance probably indicates an incorrect accounting entry.he purpose of a contra asset account is to store a reserve that reduces the balance in the paired account. By stating this information separately in a contra asset account, a user of financial information can see the extent to which a paired asset should be reduced.
