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.
For example, the allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra asset account, and it is paired with the trade accounts receivable account. When combined, the two accounts show the net amount of cash expected to be received from outstanding accounts receivable. As another example, the accumulated depreciation account is a contra asset account, and it is paired with the fixed assets account. When combined, the two accounts show the net book value of a company's fixed assets.
