Mixed invoice or proof of payment

Question

Hello!

I can find a lot of information about claiming a percentage of mixed expenses, such as your EGW or the use of your car, which you only use partially for professional purposes. But I have a different problem.I bought some materials in the shop that I need for business, but I also bought a few items for private use. Obviously, I can’t claim the latter as an expense, but I would have liked to do so for the materials. I only have one proof of purchase (a receipt without my vAT number on it) and it lists all the items, of course…

Can I still use this receipt to claim the cost, or are you not allowed to use mixed receipts in your professional accounting?

Thanks in advance!

Of course you can still claim it. Suppose your receipt states 20 euro for private use and 80 euro for your business, then you simply express that as a professional use percentage. 80% professional use, in this case.

You can also simply add up the amounts of the items you use for your business and enter that invoice. You can note this on the invoice or in Dexxter under 'Extra information' so you will know later.

Thank you!

Can you tick this as solved?
