Instant Accounts Help please

[beginertoallthis]

Hi All, I'm hopeing someone can help me. I am very new to accounting and sage and i'm pretty lost so please be gentle.

I am using Instant Accounts and i need to find out how to enter our takeings from each day so that they will transfer on to the vat report.

We are a cash business with no bank account at the mo as we are running it on behalf of my late mother in law while the estate is sorted so cant get our own bank account etc - hence why i'm new to all this and ready to throw the pc out the window lol.

Any help gratefully received

Start with Bank > Receipts. Check that you're using the standard tax codes in Sage - T0 - zero, T1 - Std, T9 - Exempt.

You just need to use a "bank" account for cash, typically 1230 is set up as petty cash quite often people create on called "till" or some such more obvious name.
