How To Reconcile UK Subsidy Payments Inside Xero

Remember, UK Subisdy Payments have already been reconciled against customer invoices inside Enrolmy as a Subsidy Credit Note. Therefore, you do not need to match the UK Subisdy Payment against the customer's invoice inside Xero.

Rather, you should code the payment to the relevant UK Subsidy Account Code:

For example:

• Tax-Free Childcare Subsidy Payments reconciled to Xero account code 853 - Tax-Free Childcare Balance

1. Within the bank reconciliations section within Xero, against your received WINZ Payment, you should use the following reconciliation references:

   1. WHO: Tax-Free Childcare

   2. WHAT: Tax-Free Childcare Balance

   3. WHY: (Insert Statement Week Date)
