Refund for overpayment of Self assessment Tax

Self assessment tax paid to HMRC in QB is noted as Drawings, this was the advice given via my accountant.

I no longer have an accountant and we have recently received a refund for an overpayment made for Self assessment tax. I assume this too is noted as transaction type: Deposit, Category: Drawings am I correct?

Many thanks in advance.

Refund for overpayment of Self assessment Tax

It’s nice to see you here in the Community @Sonia. I can help you track the refunds in QuickBooks Self-Employed.


I recommend setting them as personal expenses, as this is the best way to record them. Since refund transactions don’t fall under the Schedule C category, you must exclude them.


Here’s how to record personal expenses:

 

  1. On the left navigation bar, click Transactions.
  2. Tick "Add transaction."
  3. Input the transaction in the box and the amount.
  4. Select Personal from the Select a category drop-down menu.
  5. Once done, click Save.

 

Follow these steps on how to exclude transactions:

 

  1. For the menu, choose Transactions.
  2. Look for the transaction, and click the arrow next to it to view details.
  3.  Place a checkmark in the box Exclude this transaction (this is for duplicates, reimbursements, customer refunds, and returned purchases).
  4. Click Save.
