Overpayments - Create Overpayments with Tax on for cash basis VAT
Ability for Xero to treat an overpayment with VAT on - I don't want to use a secondary debtors control account.
We have a client on the VAT cash accounting scheme and we have a number of overpayments which need to hit the debtors control account. When I run the VAT return, these amounts are not being captured for VAT purposes since there is no option to select a tax rate when using the overpayments option.
Should I treat these as prepayments, Xero will allow me to code these to a nominal account with VAT. However, the nominal code I need Xero to code to is the debtors control account, which you can only choose when selecting the overpayment option, (and as mentioned above this doesn't allow you to select a tax rate).
What I want to do is to treat this receipt as an overpayment which hits the debtors control account but also attracts VAT. The client is on the VAT cash scheme, so I believe the overpayments must be included for VAT purposes - I don't want to use the work around of using a second nominal for debtors and posting these receipts as prepayments.

It causes so much work because this function is not available. Everything Gavin has said, I echo.
However, I won't hold my breath. Xero has a loooooong record of simply ignoring customer requests. The one about mutiple delivery addresses has been ongoing for over 10 years, with huge numbers of people requesting it, and yet it just gets ignored. And Gavin asked for this three years ago!

Sage can do this, come on Xero.....
