I've encountered this issue before. This time the balance I wish to write off originates in a previous year.

We have just received a final payment on a receivable from 2011. Payments have been made against the balance over the intervening years, and once I apply this final payment, there will be no more payments forthcoming. There will be a balance remaining, and I wish to remove it from our receivables balance. What is the correct way to do this, given that the original receivable is from a previous fiscal year, and given that there is a portion of HST included here to be dealt with?

Additionally, I have an invoice that was created as an attempt to collect interest on the outstanding balance from this same client. It's from a previous fiscal year as well, and contains HST. Essentially the same situation, except that there were never any payments made against it. How do i remove it and its HST?

Thank you.
