Opening Balance

Your tax liability increases when you need to pay tax to the authority. In certain situations, you need to reverse or decrease the tax liability. For example, you might have to return the advance received from a customer after recording the tax liability. You can use separate journal vouchers to record such tax adjustments.

You can also create a single journal voucher for increasing the tax liability and input tax credit against transactions of imports, purchases from designated zones, or intra-GCC purchases.
