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? ___

I could be wrong, but I think the point was missed that if that is an export from Calc, and it reads it *back in* correctly, John is wondering why you think it wouldn't. That is, Calc exported it that way in the first place, so you say, thus Calc should be able to read it back in. (admittedly,
