1. A business bank transaction was used to pay for a personal expense. How and where do I record this?2. I need to repay this in full how and where do I record this?

Should it be recorded as an expense so it can be matched to the bank transaction but categorised as 'Director to repay'?

Yes, Jo, you're correct. You can record personal expenses from the business account as an expense or cheque, and use a bank deposit to repay it.


However, I would still recommend consulting your accountant when selecting the correct category.


To begin, here's how:
 

  1. Click + New or + Create and choose Expense or Cheque.
  2. Select the bank or payment account from the dropdown menu.
  3. Choose a payee from the dropdown menu, then enter the amount.
  4. In the Category Details section, select the appropriate tax category from the dropdown.
  5. Click Save and close.

 

 

After that, follow these steps to reimburse the company business account:
 

  1. Click + New or + Create, then select Bank Deposit.
  2. Choose the Account and set the Date.
  3. In Add funds to this deposit, enter the Received From field, select the category you used for the expense, and add the payment method and amount.
  4. Click Save and close.
