You posted £446.84 to one account and £1351.39 to another ?
But you only paid £1351.39.
And you owed £1091.10.
No - you're ging to have to find those other postings because those just don't add up.
You can’t correct an overpayment by making journal entries, however ingenious they may be. You correct an overpayment by recovering it from whoever has it.
Just transfer the overpaid NI to the PAYE accrual and reduce the next monthly payment by this amount.
Are you not intending to get this overpayment back or is it a donation to the Government ?
The short answer is that you post the overpayment to the same account as you post the underpayment. It doesn't matter which account you post them to - as they should be qual and opposite they'll cancel each other out.
If they're not equal and opposite, you've done it wrong.
