The accounts are setup for cash basis but we can convert it for invoice basis you'll need to ask revenue which one you are.
Regarding payments are you taking about a bill or paying Vat.
Everything else is handled by workflows, they're built for 99% of people who use Bullet. They only pub their tax when they have too grinning
In the top right you'll see 'accountant & reports' you'll find manual journal entire there.
Everything else in the product has the accounting logic built into the workflow. Those workflows can't be changed.
But, the MJE will let you bypass them. Which should let you do as you wish. I'm not sure you'll be able to use our automated tax returns though. But, I'll check and get back to you.
As you've already figured out, Bullet won't let you record the payment before the end date of the tax period. Primarily this is to stop people submitting a return, and then finding they need to submit an amended return because of late arriving payments or bills.
Once the tax period has ended, you can mark the period as paid in Bullet. When marking it as paid, you can pick any date you wish for the actual payment date, so you could select the day you actually paid the return.
On the multiple part payments for VAT, generally Revenue will only accept partial payment if you've previously agreed that with them, so our general workflow expects (and encourages) the full amount to be paid. You can always use manual journal entries to amend your accounts to what was actually paid and when.

I'm impressed with the product, and I completely understand the workflow-driven approach to it.
I've been a consulting Business Analyst in software and systems design, particularly in user-centric scenarios that are heavily compliance & Regulatory focused, for a long time and, before that, I was a Lecturer in Ux & UI design, so I'm not easily impressed. The Bullet offering, from what I've seen so far, is quite intuitive and accessible.
