    I am setting up my first VAT registered company on Wave and, coming from Sage, I have a question about the various codes I used to use on there. I had the standard T1 for 20% VAT, T0 for 0% VAT and T9 for transactions that were left off the VAT return completely, such as journal transactions and certain financial transactions. Do I need to create …

  • When I make a payment to the government for my HST (sales tax) I had debited the HST Payable account and credited the Bank Account the payment was made from. The payment was made in January - but it was for the 4th Quarter owing - so Oct-Dec. But then I end up with an incorrect amount showing as owing for my next period (Jan-March) because I have …

I entered a transfer of $422.87 from the "Cash - USD account" into my "Cash on hand" account. The "Cash-USD" account showed a balance of $0.00 which is correct but also a balance of -£38.49. How…

  • I sell physical products on eBay as well as having an 'invoice' based service business. I need to be able to add a manual transaction for each eBay sale (as PayPal integration is broken) but want to tag the product sold on eBay to this manual transaction the same way I can tag a product when issuing an invoice via wave - I can't figure out how to…

  • I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere. I'm new to accounting (academic starting up a side business) and new to wave. This might be more of an accounting question actually: what would be the best way to account for assets that a partner has contributed? Eg at the start of our business, I bought a bunch of ropes and climbing gear. This wa…

  • And the category is a REFUND for whatever category the transaction was. IE Refund for Inv_Yarn etc. I have to go in to EVERY SINGLE transaction and change it. I *feel like it happened with some update. I'm looking for a BULK way to edit them all 'backwards.' Has this happened to anyone else? Dana

  • When recording that an invoice has been paid via the bank entry, Wave doesn't recognise the invoice because the currency conversion has delivered a different amount in the bank. I can record payment directly on the invoice but then I am forced to delete the bank payment or risk having two entries for the same payment. Any ideas on how else to reco…

  • I want to mark funds each month for taxes, equipment etc but I dont want to have to setup actual accounts and move the money. I've tried setting up a 'TAX Savings" account in the chart of accounts then using a journal transaction to move funds to it from my general bank account - that all works fine. However, now the general bank account's va…

  • Basically, businesses are not allowed to use spreadsheets for accounting because data can be deleted at anytime. Instead, all transactions must be posted. If mistakes are made, edits themselves will be posted. https://www.verksamt.se/en/web/international/running/accounting/do-accounting-yourself-or-hire-help

  • Im very new to this and have a quick question - I've invoiced a customer who paid me straight away with cash. Ive marked the invoice as payment received (cash on hand) and then deposited the cash to my bank account at the end of the week. This has now been picked up by Wave - how do I categorise this as I don't want the same 'income' to be essen…

  • I frequently have expenses/income in a different currency from my primary business currency. Is it possible to select a different currency when entering an expense/income transaction? I thought this was a feature of Wave but have been unable to find a way to do it. Any advice? Thank you.

  • If I go through the "expense by vendor" report, it shows the totals for all Vendors with a recorded transaction....but there doesn't appear to be any way to see transactions that don't have a vendor listed. I know that some of my transactions have been entered without a vendor....due to error or oversight, as it requires an extra step. I…

  • I am following the guide they provide, I did everything and got up to the journal entries which is the last step. Before I finished adding all the entries I run a trial balance, none of the values actually move. I checked the amount of tax I owe, it shows only the new invoice I created in wave meaning it doesn't show the rest of the cleared in…

  • Hi, Are you able to explain how I set the starting balance for Sales Tax (in my case VAT)? I started using Wave from 1.1.19. My VAT quarter started on 1.1.19. As at 1.1.19 I owed HMRC £X.XX in VAT (from the VAT quarter 1.10.18 to 31.12.18). In mid-February I made a payment to HMRC of £X.XX. When I produce a Sales Tax report (for 1.1.19 to 31.…

  • It used to be easy to compare actual bank account balance with wave balance. So first question is how do I do that now with the new layout Previously I was advised to delete the Stripe deposit bank transaction so that it did not duplicate the Wave transaction. Is that still the case with the new wave accounting? I have still been deleting stripe…
