Tax estimate is zero

Can you post the answer here please, I have the same issue. - ie how do I make Clearbooks automatically calculated tax (at 20%)?

Hi Ed

Are you a limited company or self-employed?

limited company

In that case, to the best of my knowledge, Clear Books will simply apply 20% to the net profit showing on this years P&L.

It won't add back depreciation, it won't add back client entertaining and it won't add back the likes of fines/penalties or anything else that isn't tax deductible. Nor will it take Capital Allowances into account for purchases that have hit the balance sheet.

In my humble opinion (and I don't say this lightly as I love Clear Books), unless you've personally got a very good grasp of limited company accounting, that particular widget is best switched off.

I would like to turn it on, so that every time I make an entry in assumes 20% tax. And then at the end of the reporting period the tax calc can be done properly.

So do you know how to turn that "particular widget" on?
