Just doing a set of accounts where HMRC have advanced the entire year's Maternity pay up front, and it is half-way through being run off at the year end.
Half is clearly a liability, would you pull the other half as income, or a reduction in wage expenses? It's a big chunk of cash.
Or am I thinking about this too hard?
Thanks

I cant say that this shuld be treated as income, as its unearned by your client, what i would do is show it on the balance sheet and release it to the I&E over the year, which in effect reduces your salary expense in teh accounts, go with your initial thoughts on this one!
