Entering your own transport costs

MP

Question

Hello, I keep an Excel file called “travel records” (accountant’s tip) in which I note my mileage (with my own car) and associated costs (€0.3707/km) relating to my professional activities in my secondary occupation. I would now like to enter these as expenses/costs for my 2021 financial year. How can I do this in Dexxter? When entering expenses, I always have to start by entering the invoicing party. Thank you for your advice, Murielle

Hi Murielle,

I have already solved this myself -> just add a blank document and use it to enter such an expense. Or you can print your Excel file as a pDF and use that pDF to enter the expense, which is handy because then the details are already included in your booking.

I have also asked Dexxter a question about this and they told me to always request a document, to protect users who may not always think about it. I understand that. For fixed costs or your transport costs of 37 pence per kilometre, you could simply use a blank document. If necessary, you could use an Excel file with the details already included, print it as a pDF and upload it as a document.

Hi,

Thank you for this information. I'm just not sure what to add in the 'suppliers' field?

Thanks in advance for your advice;

It doesn't really matter, as they are 'flat-rate costs'. In other words, you're not going to show a receipt for them, because otherwise you would have used that receipt. So you can safely create a supplier: fixed costs or, for example (as many accountants do), a single supplier with the name: "various suppliers".

Thank you very much, it's completely clear now :-)
