Hi Kieran
 
VAT refunds are reflected via journal entry. If you go to My Company > Manual Journal Entries > New Journal Entry.
Reason “VAT refund” > Account: Bank Account > Debit say €1,000
Go to the next line : Account: VAT > Credit €1000
Review > Save
I hope this makes sense.
Regards
Brendan

    Thanks Brendan,
    I've shown a credit to bank account and debit to VAT for the same amount.
    I presume this is OK.
    Cheers
    Kieran

    Kieran, this should be the other way around. Debit bank because your bank balance which is an asset is increasing and credit VAT because the refund that you were owed is reducing.

    Just to confirm, this is a VAT refund from revenue?

    Thanks Brendan,
    Yes it is a refund. I've changed that around.
    Many thanks again
