Carriage vs Postage and Carriage - AGAIN

I searched and found a few posts on this already - is there any way to get the nominal codes changed to reflect easier the difference and avoid incorrect tagging. seems like plenty of people would agree.

‘If you just have Carriage and Postage & Carriage the former is a cost of sales and the latter an overhead.’

would just be easier if one was

Carriage - Incoming ( so it goes into cost of sales)
Postage and Carriage - outgoing ( so it is an expense )

or anything similar…

dont think it has any bearing on HMRC or tax? but it does change operating profit figures…

Hello @clivem

I have changed the category of this post to feature request so other users can vote on it.

thanks for that Steve

I’m not sure that it is quite as simple as that. Let’s say you sell widgets via your online store. When you ship the widget to a customer, then the carriage costs are a cost of sale, but they are not incoming.
