Expenses

Record the costs of running your business, such as rent, fuel or electricity, in a few seconds, with the tax you can claim back.

4. Under Paid from, choose the cash or bank account, the Mode and a Reference.
5. Enter the Amount (before tax) and the Sales Tax %.
6. Leave Reclaim this tax (input tax) ticked if you can claim the tax back. Untick it if you can't.
7. Click Save.
