Hi,
My sales put the vat in the Right hand column of the vat account.
My purchases put the tax in the Left hand column of the VAT account.
I make Journal Entries for payments direct to the Inland Revenue for imports, and they appear on the Left of the VAT account, and the right of the bank account.
I believe this is as it should be but the <Banking and General Ledger> <Tax enquiry> adds the two columns to reach the Net Tax Payable where I expect to find the difference.
Have I misunderstood something or is my setup wrong?
