We often have to hire equipment for a day or 2, this includes a Deposit, and when we return the equipment we get the difference back between the deposit and the hire costs.

 

How do I categorise the Deposit & refund transaction in my bank transaction page?

Hello Richard, thanks for posting on the Community page, you could try this So what you would need to do is create an expense out for the hire from the +new section and then create a deposit so it would be to put it back into the same hire expense account. This will then cancel each other out in the account. Then you can just match/add at the banking page that it's money out and money in and you can add a note on the deposit to say it’s a refund back in and what for so you know for future reference. We would advise you to speak to an accountant to make sure that is the correct way as we are just technical support not trained accountants here.
