Transaction refunds allow you to correctly categorize money returned to you.
For example, when you get a refund for an item in a shop. Only expenses can be refunded.
To refund an expense, create an income. Then, during the category selection, press the "Is a refund?" switch.
Doing that, the expense category list will be shown, and you can select the same category of the original expense.
In the web app you get that option directly on the main "Add transaction" page.
