[GNC] Summarizing cash flow report w.r.t. entries and exits (discounts)

[Adrien Monteleone]

This doesn’t answer the base issue of where the accounts are placed in the report, but shouldn’t that VAT account be a liability instead of expense? Is this VAT that you are charging customers and passing along to the government? Or is this VAT that you are paying on purchases?

Regards,
Adrien
