Accounting for a tax refund

Hello

I am working with a charity. They have two employees and I need to account for their payroll. I know how the debit and credit entries should be in a normal payroll but this one beats me.

One of them has had a large tax refund. I think he was taxed at BR in his previous job and they've now decided it should be 1000L. I have no problems giving him that but what is the accounting procedure? This refund is so big that it will cover all the tax and NI owed for both him and the other employee for months.

I have scoured the internet for this information but there seems to be nothing. They tell me a dozen times over what to do in the normal situation but none of them cover tax refunds.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Peter,

You would put the total Tax refund for the whole payroll in the accounts as DR and this should balance the journal as the difference will be in the Net Pay.(hope that makes sense)

Or if you prefer email me the following info for the total payroll and I will email you back:

Gross Pay

Employers NI

Employee & Employers NI

Tax Refund

Net Pay
