can I just check though - I've put a similar transaction in 2202 but it's coming up as a credit to the account rather than a debit - it's not a liability, it's a refund on a liability - can you help me be less confused on this anyone?

Hi Teinkate.
Cr entries are also a reduction in Assets, Losses and Expenses.
In your example the double entry is
Dr Bank (being an increase in the asset of cash)
Cr Vat Recoverable (being a reduction in the asset of Vat Debtor because HMRC owed a refund)
