Hi

I have read various threads now, in an attempt to ascertain how to record payments to HMRC in QBSE. It seems there is no obvious solution offered within the QBSE system, (unless it has been added very recently?).

I have to say I am in complete agreement with others that have made the same point. UK Sole traders typically pay their tax bill from their business account, and as such wish to categorise it as 'Tax' or 'HMRC' or similar. It should NOT then be recorded as an expense. This throws out all the calculations for proft and loss. Yet, the category named 'Tax' is there to select and does exactly that, records an expense. Surely it would be possible to adjust this so that it becomes a useful feature rather than a confounding drawback of QBSE for the UK sole traders like myself that simply wish to sleep at night assured that their books are being kept up to date for submission when the time comes. I look forward to your advice.
