Hi Mike,

Enter the deductions as negative amounts on separate invoice lines. The account used for lines 1, 2 and 3 should be 'Sales Income'. I assume the 'Tax' on line 4 is due to the Construction Industry Scheme - the account to use on this line depends on what type of business you run: If you are self-employed or in a partnership, the account should be 'Owner's Drawings and Personal Use'. For a company the account should be 'Income Tax and NI Liability'. For more details about recording CIS deductions see this page:
