Entering (train) tickets (only incl. VAT)

Question

Hello everyone, I want to enter my train tickets as expenses, but I’m not sure how to do this in a good way:

  • Do I enter NMBS as the supplier? With or without a VAT number?

  • The tickets only state the cost price, with no breakdown of excl. VAT or incl. VAT.

However, when processing the expenses, I have to enter both costs, otherwise it doesn’t work.

I am not subject to VAT.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Jan Debel

Perhaps Dexxter could make a separate video about this, because it has come up a few times already, if it is good for me.

Create NMBS as a supplier, BE supplier, their vAT number does not matter in this case. So just leave their company number as a supplier blank. In the Belgian context, it never really matters whether you fill in the supplier's company number, but it is advisable for the sake of your bookkeeping.

  • Enter the exclusive and inclusive amounts at the same time. If that is possible with a BE supplier in Dexxter, but I think it is? Otherwise, just fill in something for the exclusive amount, you are not going to recover VAT anyway, so it does not matter. The inclusive amount is what counts from your accounts, if you fill that in correctly as non-VAT liable, you are good.

  • Hope that helps! ;)

    Kind regards,

    Dirk

    I have an additional question about this: I purchase train tickets to the app from the NMBS, which means I cannot upload a ticket/document to the Dexxter accounts. What would be the best way to process these costs in my accounts according to the above instructions? Thank you for the information.
