How do I enter the flat rate vat and zero out the creditor to hmrc?

So let's say the real vat i have collected on my sales is £5000

But I pay a flat rate vat to hmrc of say £4700

So I am keeping £300 of the vat I collected

How do I enter the £4700 real transfer of money to hmrc? And how do I enter it so that I am no longer listed as owing hmrc £300 vat?

Many thanks

    Easy Books has a setting for the this, under business settings. Change the scheme to "Flat rate scheme".

    I should have also explained that it then posts your additional £300 to an income account. You will need to set the standard rate of VAT (which you charge on your invoices) and the flat rate that applies for your business.

    I hope that helps,
