Journal CIS Suffered to Payroll Liabilities: HMRC?

Hi, 

I've also got the same question as Jalexanderplant.

We have had a refund of over 9k, as it can not credit into the CIS suffered account as that is calculating this tax year for each monthly return, how can this be processed on the system?

Thanks

Im really sorry John, I need you to simplify this as I do not understand what do you mean. 

Please can you do this in a step by step guide. Thanks 

I received a refund from the HMRC and I don't know how to process it. 

I appreciate you joining the thread, @JamesVTT. Let me guide you on how to record you refund from HMRC. 
 

In QuickBooks Online, we can record a refund from HMRC by creating a bank deposit. Then use an income or equity account since this is considered money in the transaction. Let's start by adding an account to your chart of accounts if you haven't already. 
 

I also suggest, you reach out to your accountant if you're not sure what account to use, for they also know what's best for your books.
 

Here's how to create an account: 
 

1. Go to the Accounting tab on the left navigation bar. 
2. Select Chart of Accounts, then click New. 
3. Click on Income or Equity in the Account Type field. 
4. Choose Detail Type in the drop-down arrow. 
5. Enter a unique name for easy tracking. 
6. Then, Save and Close. 
    

You can also check this article if you need more information on how to set up and add accounts to your chart of accounts.
 

After that, we can now create a bank deposit and use the account we previously created. We can follow the steps below:
 

1. Click on the +New button, then select Bank deposit. 
2. In the Account column of Add funds to this deposit section, select the income/equity. 
3. Enter the amount and tap Save and close. 
    

Once done, you can review the Deposit Details for the past bank deposits.

This is then an income and shows on my profit and loss report. This means I’ll then pay tax on it…. What would be wrong? 

Hi there, @JamesVTT. I'm here to lend you a hand and provide the steps you need to record your refund from HMRC.

Have you created the bank deposit and selected a VAT code or did you select NO VAT on the bank deposit? If you select NO VAT then it will not appear on VAT return and it will not be taxed as it is a bank deposit. If you do not want it to show on the p and l you can use an equity account instead of an income account to post the deposit to. Again we'd suggest consulting an accountant as we're not trained accountants we can only advise how the product works.
