Is HMRC (UK Tax and VAT) a Vendor?

Question

I have bank transactions for a VAT refund and a VAT payment showing on my Aged Payable report as 'Unknown Partner' transactions because they have nothing in the Partner field on the journals, therefore I can't reconcile them. Do I have to set HMRC up as a Vendor, which doesn't make sense, or is there something I've missed in configuration?

If you define the account type of an account as account receivables or account payables, then you should use customers/vendors as partners. You can also do that with HMRC, but AFAIK usually you do use separate accounts of type current assets, current liabilities respectively.
In ths case you post/reconcile directly to the corresponding acconts. Check your tax configuration, your localization and ask your accountant.
