Statement of Cashflow not balancing

[MAMS005]

When I run the Statement of Cashflow report there’s an error because the Ins and Outs don’t balance and the “Difference” exactly matches the CT Liability from last year, but I have already paid this. Does this mean I need to create a manual mapping for 2320 - Corporation Tax?

I have actually added this mapping and it appears in the report under, “Cash payments from other operating activities”. Is that correct?

Hello @MAMS005

I found the below thread in the forum which may help

Corporation Tax Paid but still showing in P&L

You should have a journal in 2017 Ye to record CT and liability as follows Dr 8500 Corporation Tax Charge for the Year Cr 2320 Corporation Tax When you paid in July 2018, you should have tagged bank payment as CT payment and it would have brought balance down on 2320 Corporation Tax

Thanks Steve,
I did do the journals correctly already, and did tag the payment to CT as well and this is recorded correctly, but somehow was not included in the Statement of Cashflow until I made the above manual mapping in the report. I’m just curious why this is picked up automatically, and if what I’ve done is actually correct since the result seems to indicate it was.
