Re: [GNC] withholding tax (Liz Dodd)
Stan,
I see what you are saying. Practically I think I need to process the invoice
payment twice, first part payment (80) to Accounts Receivable then another
payment (20) to Assets: WHT. But I don't seem to have this ability in gnucash
because when I process an invoice payment in the 'post to' box only has Assets:
Accounts Receivable as an option in the pull down menu. Help!

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.

Re: [GNC] withholding tax (Liz Dodd)
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.

Re: [GNC] Split Transactions
I'm not quite following the results from your second paragraph, maybe screenshots could help. But I'd think of this as a 3-split transaction. One would show the amount debited to the account in total. The other two would be for each type of interest, as credits to their respective (or the same) income account. So if regular interest was '5' and bonus interest was '20', the transaction would look something like: Dr. Savings 25 Cr. Interest Income 5 Cr. Bonus Interest Income 20 If you use the same Interest Income account, then simply use the Memo field for the detail info to distinguish the bonus payment.

I only see the one transaction with multiple splits. Therefore, I think it must be an artifact of the type of register view you have. I am using the expanded view that shows all splits in the transaction.

Re: [GNC] Split Transactions
Normanj, What you are seeing is a normal artifact of GnuCash that appears when there is more than one split line for the account in which you are viewing the transaction. If you 'jump' to another account in the transaction, you will see as many transactions as there are split lines for that account. Usually you will only enter a single net amount on the asset side for the sum of the incomes, then there would only be one transaction in the asset register view.

Re: [GNC] Report headings, can one separate the company name from the report name?
Two things: First, you may be not have considered all of the report options. I haven't looked at all gnucsh reports, but the ones that I have allow you to control the "title" of the report. This might be more obvious to folks like me doing books for non-profits << by custom the report titled "Income Statement" and/or "Profit and Loss" is called "Statement of Revenues and Expenses" or just "Statement of Revenues" for short if the entity is a non-profit >> Second (and in this case your "hack" is in the right direction) if you considered your question in a more general form, you might see that things like this sort of "pretty printing" best done AFTER exporting from gnucash where you have a great deal of potential editing power. For example, suppose you had said "I want to have my company logo up at the top". You wouldn't expect to be doing that from WITHIN gnucash. But it could be other "pretty printing" matters like "I want the body lines font size X but the total lines font size Y, etc." Michael D Novack On Mon, Sep 28, 2020 at 09:04:28PM +0100, Chris Green wrote: I have just been looking at and printing some reports, the 'Company Name' set in Properties is just put on the same line as the report name.

Re: [GNC] Report headings, can one separate the company name from the report name?
Ideally you'd submit changes in a PR or bugzilla so that further architectural changes may be debated. For illustration on further work, try this fix in html-style-info.scm: it'll sanitize most/all strings, but many old reports will be damaged because they use html for layout: gnucash/report/html-style-info.scm @@ -161,7 +161,7 @@ (define (gnc:default-html-string-renderer datum params) - datum) + (gnc:html-string-sanitize datum)) (define (gnc:default-html-gnc-numeric-renderer datum params) (xaccPrintAmount datum (gnc-default-print-info #f))) On Thu, 1 Oct 2020 at 08:54, Chris Green wrote: > > That's exactly why I called it a hack. :-) > > I've actually now dug down into the scheme files that generate the > reports and they're not as frightening as I thought from looking at > the documentation.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.2 Released
Thanks to the message from James I downloaded 4.2 for W10. Maybe coincidentally, my Vivaldi browser crashed half way through the download, but it restarted after restarting Vivaldi. All OK in the end and the load is MUCH faster. Thanks to all concerned. Barry On 30/09/2020 20:57, Jamestk wrote: Frank, its Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon, please see Adrien reply below for solution.

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 Liz ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
