Non Domestic Rates - How do you record annual bill and then subsequent monthly d.dr

Hello , would really welcome some help please

If I load the annual Non Domestic Rates Bill on the supplier account - I have an open or overdue balance for the whole amount.  When I then enter the monthly direct debit payments it will reduce by that much until the debt is cleared.  Is there a better way to do this i.e not showing the council as account payable every month!

thank you

Michelle

Non Domestic Rates - How do you record annual bill and then subsequent monthly d.dr

Hello, @mp24.

 

Instead of recording an annual bill, you can enter a journal entry using the expense and liability accounts so it does not post as overdue or payable every month. When posting the direct deposit payment, create a monthly expense using the liability account to reduce the payable.

 

Here's to input a journal entry:

 

  1. Go to the New (+icon, then select Journal entry under Other.c5 1.PNG
  2. Fill in the necessary details, then tap Save or Save and close.c5 2.PNG

To create an expense, select Expense under Vendors from the New (+icon.c5 3.PNG
