Hi,

I found these two threads very useful when setting up VAT accounts in  GC, 
many years ago...

https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2003-July/007526.html
contains all the CoA structure etc.

https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2003-July/007560.html
(scroll down somewhat to 'notes' section) contains all the explanatory notes 
for the earlier post.

another place to look for info is http://gnucash.wikia.com - the creator of 
that site said

Yesterday I started my second attempt to configure and use GnuCash for
UK VAT flat rate cash based accounting system.

I order not to muck up the main gnucash wiki I created a new one at
http://gnucash.wikia.com  It is public, anyone can edit.

I had a look a while back, and it seems a fairly comprehensive step-by-step 
guide to get started with.
