Hi Everyone. 

I'm doing Bookkeeping Sage Computerised and i'm a bit confused with regards to a payment of council tax. 

If businesses don't pay Council Tax but  Business Rates, what is the correct way of record a payment of council tax into Sage? What kind of expense is  this? What nominal code should i use? 

Any tip is appreciated

Regards 

Tania

As you say, businesses don't normally pay Council Tax, so why are they??

Most likely (if you are dealing with a sole trader) you can post to drawings, or if Ltd co then Directors Loan account. But really you need a bit more info as to why the business is making the payment.

Hi Tania,

I would need a little more information as to whether this is actually council tax charged to the sole trader or whether it is actually business rates charged to the business, but in either case, you would post to N/C 7103 General Rates.

Hi All

Thank you for your reply. 

I've always been turned to General Rates, but because I don't have more information than a cheque of payment for Coucil Tax , my doubt it's exactly if this this for the sole trader or for business rates.  

Once again, thank you for your help
