Hi, how do you record reimbursements that originate from overpaid expenses? Should I debit an expenses account or should I record the reimbursement as income?
For me this question typically arises on a regular basis when providers for gas or electricity read the meter: I pay for utilities each month, and each year I either have to pay for the quantity I consumed in excess or I get reimbursed because I consumed less than what has been estimated the year before. Say I lived frugally and get reimbursed, what is the account I should debit when crediting my checking account? 2017/07/10 My Electricity Provider Assets:Checking 100.00 EUR Expenses:Utilities:Electricity (where "Expenses:Utilities:Electricity" is the account I credit each month) or 2017/07/10 My Electricity Provider Assets:Checking 100.00 EUR Income:Reimbursements - How do you do it? -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
