Manage Government Tax Refund

Hi everyone! What is the best way to manage Tax refund from Government (in my case IRD, New Zealand) and enter it correctly to the system?
Thanks!

When you pay tax generally you account for that like so:
Debit the income tax expense account
Credit the cash account

So when you receive a refund the reverse applies:
Debit the cash account
Credit the income tax expense account
