bookkeeping question

[Liz]

I have solar panels and am selling electricity to the same people who
sell me electricity.

I get an account with a lot of lines, but it could be summarised as

Money I owe them for electricity (with tax)
Money they owe me for electricity (without tax)
Money they owe me for electricity (tax position uncertain)

The account just runs into credit until I apply for payment from them,
which does complicate my account keeping.


I'd like the income kept in a separate place so I can compare against
the capital expenditure on the solar installation.

I also need to keep the small amount with uncertain tax status separate
until I find out if I pay tax on that income or not.

I've tried twice to work out how to record all this lot, and now I have
the cheque for my income I need to be able to sort this out.
I'm sure that a couple of regular writers to this list will assist me,
and thank them in advance.
