Hi Gary,

No problem and yes, that is perfectly fine. In relation to the VAT refund, this should be coded to the VAT control account.

thank u tommy that is great, we have also entered it as money in and explained it as a refund, is this correct? we also had a vat refund, which we have entered the same way explaining it as a refund but we allocated this one to vat cash control, is this correct?

Hi Gary,

In this case, you will need to create an account code for this by heading to Settings > Accounting > Account Codes > Create Account Code. Name this income tax and in the Account Type, I would choose Other Creditors under Current Liabilities.
