How do I enter my fuel scale charge?

Firstly, setup a new nominal named ‘Fuel Scale Charge’ in the group Misc. Receipts. Now, go to Entries > Recurring Entries > New > select Nominal Journal and OK. Enter the Frequency required for your journal and the start date you wish to begin posting your fuel scale charge.

First line goes to the new income nominal and is standard rated VAT set as Output Tax. The amounts should be calculated using HMRC’s VAT rate tables. Enter as CR Net and CR Vat.

Second line is also to the income nominal but O VAT (Outside) and just the net value from your first line. Enter as DR Net.

Third line is your Fuel cost nominal and O VAT and just the VAT value from your first line. Enter as DR Net.
