Don't put stock in the P/L, its balance sheet. Unless its stock purchases and you are putting through reallocation journals. I would put in the 1000's somewhere. Make it unique though, i.e 11** tend to be debtors and prepayments, 12** tends to be bank etc.

Irrecoverable VAT needs to be a P/L code, therefore anything after 4000. If your codes are set up correctly, i.e 4000 to 5000 may be income codes and 5001 onwards will be expenses codes then just use the next available code.
Reply:For the irrecoverable input VAT I'd just use T9 VAT type,

stock is a balance sheet item, not P%26amp;L, use nominal code 1001
Reply:Put it in the 3s
Reply:Irrecoverable Input VAT should be included in the as part of the cost. eg, if you buy a car, then in most instances the VAT is irrecoverable, so the total cost of the car on the Balance Sheet would include the VAT
