Personally, I think this is wrong but "ours is not to reason why"!

 

If you use RCSG20% VAT code on the line item it's going to add/subtract the VAT & leave you with £nil to pay to HMRC.  QBO VAT codes are not intended for partial use - so you have to work around what you have.

Since you seem to insist on paying the VAT, you will need to use VAT code S=20% on that line.

Your bill value is now 20% too high - so you need to enter a negative line to compensate (use VAT code NoVAT to keep it off the VAT100).  Post this line to your funder's account.

 

Supplier gets the correct payment.

HMRC gets 20%.

Funder covers the 20%.

 

This is doing the same job as a journal moving the expense from VAT Control to Funder's account.

 

Hope this helps.
