Hi How do i input an VAT only Expense. 

IE: Had a accident in my van and had to pay the VAT content of the claim. 

So whats the best way to record this so i can claim the VAT back.

VAT only Expense


Hi Nick

 

We presume the transaction was purely VAT and was paid from your bank account. If this presumption is correct you will have to:

Select the create/plus icon in the top right hand corner of the screen > Expense > In the payee section create/enter the company that you paid the amount to > in the payment account enter the bank account the amount was paid from > In the payment date enter the date that the amount was debited from your bank account > in the amounts are section select Exclusive of Tax > in the category section on line one select purchases > in the amount column enter 0.01 > in the VAT column select 20%S VAT code > on line two in the category column select purchases > in the amount column enter -0.01 > in the VAT column select the Exempt VAT code > .enter the amount total amount of VAT you paid in the VAT box > save and close.
