I think that there is a problem with the bank payments, but if I am missing the answer I would be grateful for someone to tell me.

When making a bank payment (or categorizing an import) I sometimes need to allocate that payment to an account I have created in the Chart of Accounts.

The only way that I can allocate a payment to any account I choose, though, is if I select the category of 'Expense'.  The problem with doing that is that it then appears on the VAT return, which may not be correct.

Unless there is some way of doing this that I have missed I believe that what is needed is a payment category of 'Other' which allows access to all the items in the Chart of Accounts, or a checkbox in the 'Expense' category to say that it is 'Outside of Scope for VAT'.
