Hi Derek,
Please find my detailed reply. 
Until now I have only elaborated customer/invoice/tax/debiteuren situations.
Probably vendor/bill/tax/crediteuren elaborations might bring same confusion.
Thanks for any help.

WHAT I INTENT TO DO:
1- registration of new customer
2- preparation of new invoice
3- booking of the invoice
4- booking of payment via bank

What I expect:
> bullet 2: a perfect split of the amount in sub total and in BTW (for BTW 
included yes/no) 
> bullet 3: booking of subtotal in account income/sales and BTW in account 
Tax/a to pay (both credit) and the summed amount in account debiteuren 
(assets/a to receive)
>bullet 4: a debet booking in one of the bank accounts and a credit booking in 
the debiteuren account.

What happens
The first problem is that in bullet 2 already twice the expected amount is 
showing up
The second problem is that in bullet 3 the two creditbookings are bothin the 
income:sales account (not in one of the tax accounts). The debet booking is 
in debiteuren where it should be.

Let me explain in more detail
* bullet 1:
Go Business/ new customer
Entry name customer eg. XYZ
In account tab >> entry eg. ´incl tax NO´
		>>and taxtable – BTW (and checked)
My understanding is that with the last checking previous settings will be 
overruled

* bullet 2:
Go Business / New invoice (brings me to a register-like screen)
Row is  completed with eg income account ´income: sales´ and amounts and 
values (eg 1x 100 Euro)
This results in same row are (with taxrelated = yes):
tax  included  		sub total = 172,46 and tax = 27,54
tax not included	sub total = 100,00 and tax = 38 (instead of 19)
Same with taxrelated = no gives 100 and 0 .

* bullet 3:
In this example I continued with the 100 plus 38 case.
In the completed screen (see bullet 2) Go  Book. 
A new popup window ask for confirmation and for ook to account. There I have 
following options namely:   ´debiteuren´ and ´tax á/to receive)
I choose for debiteuren.
Checkbox ´join bookings´ unchecked

This booking results in:
account debiteuren	
debiteuren		138
sales				100
project				  19
sales				  19

account income:projects
debiteuren		138
sales				100
project				  19
sales				  19

account income:sales
debiteuren		138
sales				100
project				  19
sales				  19

Question 1: where origins the 19 under project????
Question 2: where is a booking in a tax account???

bullet 4
This part will be investigated after that previous issues have been solved.
