Sorry, but an accounting nit which admittedly is besides the point of your post. The transaction below…
… looks wrong to me. You’re showing that you’re paying a liability, the amount that you owe someone, without ever having booked an expense for which that liability was incurred. Typically, for an incurred tax liability you’d have two transactions.
When the income is earned and on which the taxes are levied:
txn ~D[2025-07-09], notes: "account", accounts: %{
account("Income::Studio rent") => ~A[-800 EUR],
account("Expense::Tax::Taxes on rent") => ~A[224 EUR],
account("Liabilities::Tax::Taxes owed") => ~A[-224 EUR],
account("Assets::Bank::Checking") => ~A[800 EUR]
}
Later when the taxes are paid:
txn ~D[2025-08-01], notes: "account", accounts: %{
account("Liabilities::Tax::Taxes owed") => ~A[224 EUR],
account("Assets::Bank::Checking") => ~A[-224 EUR]
}
This represents that between earning the income which causes the taxes and the actual payment of the taxes, the money was sitting in your checking account. Naturally, if the taxes are paid straight-away, you’d just book the expense and never go to the liability account at all. There’s more to say about this… but this is a forum for Elixir and not accounting… so I’ve already said too much 
. Also, I’m not an accountant, but am forced to play one in my daily work with uncomfortable regularity… so I could be completely wrong!
