Hello,
I'm using MYOB Premier Accounting 2009 V13.0.1D. We have the US version of the software, but are actually located in Costa Rica, where sales tax is handled differently than in the States.
We pay sales tax on all purchases, including items for resale, and collect it on all sales. Our monthly sales tax payment is the difference between the two.
I understand that the version of MYOB I am using is not set up this way, but I need a workaround to track the sales tax paid. I tried setting up a separate tax code for ST paid and linking it to an "Other Asset" account, but the amounts didn't post there when I recorded a transaction; possibly MYOB refuses to see sales tax as an asset, even when we're the ones paying it.
I've seen this thread from a couple of years ago:
http://myobforum.infopop.cc/ev...321043781#4321043781 The suggestion there is to create an item, link it with the desired Asset account, and "buy" one of this item on each purchase.
Are there any other suggestions, or is this still the best approach?
Thanks!
Jennifer
