Can you please advise the best way to handle a refund which includes GST?

I recently recorded a cash payment of $99 for Admin services. The transactions were CR Bank A/C $90, DR 5115 Admin Costs $90 DR 2510 GST Paid $9.

I was later advised of an error - the cost should have been $88 - and I received a redund of $11.

I could just reverse the original entry and enter the correct amounts in a new transaction, but then the refund would not show up in the Bank reconciliation.

The other option that I considered was entering a journal with DR Bank A/C  $11,CR 5115 Admin Costs $10 CR 2520 GST Collected $1.

What is the best way to handle this?

Hi,

The latter of the two suggested options is better because it shows the payment and the partial refund separately, as they happened.

Please process the journal exactly as suggested in your post using a General Journal or Cash Receipt.
