I'm using odoo 15.0 accounting, I've everything setup in terms of journals and chart of accounts but I don't know how to handle the below scenarios:


1. In one case we've imported products where the VAT tax isn't going to be paid to the vendor instead we'll pay VAT to the customs authority once the products arrive. I can't figure out how to record these taxes in odoo in order to be correctly listed and appear in our tax report. this is going to be an entry with value of the VAT to be paid without products as the products were already paid for.


2. We're required to submit a VAT report monthly to tax authority with difference between VAT paid and VAT received and we should pay this difference monthly. I need to know where this payment should be recorded in Odoo knowing that it should be shown in our PNL


3. At the end of the year we should pay corporate income tax which is a percentage of our profits. I also don't know how this is handled in Odoo in terms of Journal entries, payments and where it'll show in our reports (Shouldn't be in the PNL)

1. The expense account for the Bill line with description "VAT to pay (Customs)" is recorded in the GL account "VAT to pay (Customs)" on a Vendor Bill you create from "Customs".

2. The income account for the Invoice line with description "VAT" can be booked to a GL account called "VAT we've collected" and you can subtract "VAT to pay (Customs)" from "VAT we've collected" and pay this difference monthly. Expenses and Incomes already show up on the PNL so you just need to search the report to find them.

3. Your profits will be shown on your Balance Sheet near the words "Unallocated Earnings". Once you know the % you have to pay, create a Vendor Bill from "Tax Collector" booked to an expense GL account called "Income Tax". This GL account shows up on your PNL and reduces your unallocated earnings on the Balance Sheet. 


Your questions make me wonder if you could use a few conversations with a professional book keeper or accountant.

Find people you can have these conversations with (because they also know Odoo) at https://www.odoo.com/accounting-firms

You or the person you talk to may want to review https://www.odoo.com/documentation/15.0/applications/finance/accounting/taxation/fiscal_year/close_fiscal_year.html
