Hello Helen,

Create a new General Transaction from your Cheque Account to Deposit Account. Here's our help page on this topic:

Hello Helen,

Sorry I should have mentioned: Use 'Cheque Account' to represent your current account (you can rename this account by clicking on it in the Accounts list). To represent your deposit account, click menu File > New > Account, set the name to 'Deposit Account' and the type to 'Asset'. Use this account as the 'To account' when recording the transfer.

Also you may want to record the estimated corporation tax expense each month rather than as one big expense at the end of your financial year. To do this, click menu File > New > General Transaction and set the From Account to 'Corporation Tax Liability' and the To Account to 'Tax Expense'.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information.


Regards,
