Hi all, I hope you are keeping well and safe in these unpredictable times. Has anyone posted Furlough payments yet through SAGE? What are thoughts on whether to post payment directly to Gross Wages or to open a new Code called Furlough Payments?

I'd rather not pay tax on it, as I can't get a bottle for £16. How do I (or rather the Ltd Company) get round that? -- Edite...
