    Hi,

    This is one of the trickier tax adjustments as the closing balance is a tax refund and not amount due to the tax authorities. So, were you have 2,400 then this should be (2,400). I think you then get the right answer using your methodology => (2,400) + 800 -200. I prefer to use T-accounts as this makes it a bit easier to work out and understand.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I personally think that it is easier to use a T-account but it is a lot more challenging to do so with the online exams, so can understand when people approach it differently.

    Thanks
