How to record an expense that was refunded?

Question

Hello community,

in 2024, I booked a training course for 2025. I paid for this expense in 2024 and therefore recorded it as an expense in 2024. In 2025, the training course was cancelled and the trainer refunded the money back to my business account. How should I enter this in Dexxter in 2025? Under income? And how?

Thank you in advance for your expert answer!

Hi LW,

You need to ask the training provider for a credit note for the invoice you received on earlier. You can then enter this credit note in your accounts. This is actually a negative cost, so a positive value. This neutralises the invoice from the previous year.

Good luck and best regards from Gitta! :-)

Do you enter that credit note under income or under expenses?
