Re: [GNC] withholding tax (Liz Dodd)

2020-10-02 Thread Adrien Monteleone
The normal process payment function only splits for the invoices/bills 
selected. So if you are paying one invoice, you get one payment split 
and one AR/AP split.


If you are paying multiple invoices, you'll still only have one payment 
split, but one AR/AP split for each invoice/bill.


If additional splits were part of the real-world transaction, you have 
to add them manually, ideally from the payment (source) account 
register. (not AR/AP)


For example, I keep a jar of loose change and don't count that as part 
of my 'cash in wallet'.


When I pay a bill in cash, I use the usual Process Payment for the exact 
amount.


Then I edit the transaction to change the cash split to be the actual 
whole dollar amount I tendered, then add a debit split to my coin jar 
for the loose change. I've had some issue in the past with tracking down 
some cash discrepancies, so I record the actual tender amount, and I add 
a cash debit split for any cash change received. Now I can trace the 
actual currency flow if needed. This has helped me resolve a few errors 
or lapses in memory if I don't get to enter transactions right away.


-
And I agree on the 'starting point' and always enter any transaction 
from the source account register. Life is much simpler that way.

Adrien

I don't use the business features so don't know if this is your problem.

BUT -- it is always harder to enter a split transaction when starting 
from the "wrong" place. By wrong, in this case, I mean in the case of a 
one sided split, starting in an account other than the non-split side.


When you are processing an invoice payment (when entering that) CAN you 
split? << others using the business features need to jump in here and

a customer that was intended to cover two invoices, could you enter

If the answer is yes, then what I suggest is that you learn how to enter 
a split transaction when you are starting from the "wrong place". Those 
of us who are keeping books for non-profits that sell "stuff" 
(fundraising) probably know how to do that since in entering the 
transaction involves "cash", "sales", "cost of goods sold", and "goods 
inventory" << split on BOTH sides  so there can be no "right" place to

Re: [GNC] withholding tax (Liz Dodd)

2020-10-02 Thread Christopher Lam
While experimenting this problem, I found it exposes a subtle
behaviour/bug... I was hoping to do the following manual assignment: create
a transaction with 3 splits -
 - asset:bank +80
 - a/receivable -100
 - asset:WHT +20
 then right-click the transaction, assign $80 as payment for the invoice.
But this will assign the 100 to the invoice then 20 as overpayment to the
same customer. This is not what we want.

Therefore your *only *currently available steps is (IMHO):  process payment
as usual, for $80 only. This creates a regular transaction:
 - asset:bank +100
 - a/receivable -100 (to clear the invoice)

Then you will do *two* further modifications:
1. modify to include split to asset:WHT
 - asset:bank +80
 - a/receivable -100 (linked to invoice)
 - asset:WHT +20
2. import OFX/QIF from the bank, and match the OFX transaction to your
asset:bank split. Thus:
 - asset:bank +80 (linked to OFX online_id)
 - a/receivable -100 (linked to invoice)
 - asset:WHT +20

Doing in two transactions simply avoids the complexity of entering a

Just to be clear, the answer to any question like this is always, "Think
of GnuCash as a pen-and-ink ledger. First determine what entries you
need to make, to cover your own accounting and tax needs. Once you know
that, you can make those entries in GnuCash."


> Do you agree this is the way to do it?


I don't think so. Since you will collect 80 pounds not 100, the amount
in receivables should, I think, be 80 pounds not 100. The 20 pounds is
an asset, but it is a prepaid tax expense and not a receivable.

Debit: Assets: Receivable from {customer} 80
Debit: Assets: Tax prepaid to {Foreign Government} 20
Credit: Income: Sales 100

Then at the end of the year you make an adjusting entry:
Debit: Liabilities: Tax payable to {My Government) {total for the year}
Credit: Assets: Tax prepaid to {Foreign Government} {same amount}

That lets you track the amounts invoice by invoice or by annual totals.
For strictly accounting purposes, that is what I would do. However, your
country may mandate doing it in a particular way, so you may want to get
local advice on that point. There's no need to bring GnuCash into that
discussion; just ask how debits and credits should be recorded.

 Foreign Government A keeps this money and My Government B will credit this 
amount against my corporation tax liability.

My invoice is for the full amount, £100.

Usually (without WHT) when the invoice is paid the full amount is sent to my 
Accounts Receivable. In this case I think the way to do it is for gnucash to 
send £100 to Accounts Receivable then £80 will go from here to my Asset: Bank 
Account and £20 to Asset: WHT. How do I achieve this in gnucash?

Do you agree this is the way to do it?

Just think about how you record this with pen and ink

But first, will you ever see the ?20 again?
Does Foreign Government A pay this back at some time?
Will you be credited this by your government instead?

According to the answer, that tells you how you might note this on
paper.

Until you have spoken to your accounting expert in your own country,
put this ?20 in an account of it's own, Asset:Withholding Tax:Country A

Later you move this to a preferred place in your account structure

[GNC] withholding tax

2020-09-30 Thread Paul W via gnucash-user
I invoice my client £100 for services provided. They process my invoice and pay 
me the balance of £80 after deducting 20% (£20) withholding tax which they give 
to foreign government A.
How do I account for this withholding tax in gnucash?
