We've recently changed the way we manage tax, for more info see the button below.


One consequence of this is that you'll need to update your accounting settings to ensure you're syncing correctly.

Steps

1. Click on integrations

2. Click on the cog for the accounting pack you use

The screen that opens up is the new settings screen for your Xero in this case, but it will be identical for MYOB or Quickbooks.

In the image below we've used ticks to indicate everything that will already be correct. The steps continue below the image.

3. Check to see if the "Expense account for Contractors" box is blank. If it is already filled out, go onto step 4. If it is blank, click into it and choose the same option as the "Expense account for Suppliers" box (which is highlighted above it in the image).


4. The two boxes in item 4 will both be empty and need filling out. Please fill them out by copying the items from the boxes above, as indicated by arrows in the image.


5. The two boxes in item 5 will both be empty and need filling out. Please fill them out by copying the items from the boxes above, as indicated by arrows in the image.


6. Click save and close.
