Shareholder salary

Hi

This is actually a tax question for the new online tax programme and IR4 and IR10 tax returns

I am confused with the Shareholder Details in an IR4 at key point 42 – Current account balance says enter positive for a debit balance or a negative for a credit balance.

In the IR10 the current account year-end balance Key point 58 says,  if in debit enter with a minus sign

I guess that means they cancel each other out?

So to use a simple example - in my end of year accounts, in the shareholder advances section I have funds intro of $1,500 and drawings of $500. This means my shareholder advances are $1,000 and they show up in the liabilities section of the balance sheet. Which makes them a credit.

So in the tax programme at keypoint 58 of the IR 10 I enter $1,000 (no brackets) and in Keypoint 42 I enter in brackets ($1,000)

Is that right?
