How to Refund with Xero

Step 1

Find the tenancy where you wish to issue a refund to the tenant and then add a transaction via the tenant rent statement as shown on the image below; You must then enter the correct information regarding the refund as shown on the below diagram. If refunding rent the transaction type will vary between a "rent charge"and a "direct rent";

• Choose "Rent charge" if you are a Property Manager

If you are refunding anything other than rent you may select the relevant transaction type. Note: For a refund you must enter the Amount net with a minus (-) sign ahead of the amount you are going to refund. Refer to the image below!
