If you really want to track this you could setup a contra account to your 
Income acct which sums into the Income account e.g.

first month:

Income                   Credit 1800.50
Asset:Taxes withheld     Debit   300.00
Income::Pay rounding     Credit    0.50
Asset:Bank               Debit  1501.00

second month:

Income                   Credit 1800.30
Asset:Taxes withheld     Debit   300.00
Income:Pay Rounding      Debit    00.30
Asset:Bank               Debit  1500.00

The balance in the Pay rounding account should hover around 0.00. and your bank 
account will record the correct balance
in the account at the bank.


I cannot for the life of me understand why any payroll system would be rounding 
to the nearest pound if they are using
direct credit of your pay. To the nearest penny yes but not the nearest pound. 
Seems like a hangover from when they paid
in cash and didn't want to be bothered with coins.
