Credit Note – Refund
Included in our Credit Note is a ability to record Tax Refund amounts. When refunding or crediting a client, you need to also pay attention to any Sales Tax that may have been included on the Original Invoice.
As a whole we don’t believe many Small Businesses, Contractors and Subcontractors using our computer accounting software will use credit notes (maybe only 5% of our clients).
