Hi Simone7, 

 

Thank you for reaching out on this and Welcome to our Community!

 

The refund received, it should be allocated to the Creditors (Accounts Payable) account and you should be able to assign the same GST code on the expense. For more information, please visit the link below:

Hi - I am having the same issue. When I try to make a supplier credit it won't allow me to allocate GST/PST even though I've been refund those amounts. The article you linked no longer works.
