Categorising a credit card repayment

Hi

If I use my credit card to buy say £100 worth of stock, thats  business expense. But if I then pay that £100 off my credit card from my current account, what should that payment come under?

TIA

Let's get your questions sorted out, Allante666.

 

Regarding the type, you're right. You'll use Business if it's used for business purposes, then use Personal for personal usage. 

 

Now, for the categorisation, you'll have to use Credit Card Payment

 

I'm just around if you have additional questions. You can tag me, and I'll reply to you as soon as I can.

I'll help you categorise the transaction, Allante666. 

 

You can use Transfers: Credit Card Payment as the category when paying a credit card. 

 

You might want to create rules to easily categorise transactions

Thanks for that @Kristine Mae  (is that the correct way to tag you?)

Can i ask another question in this thread or should I start a new one?  My question is, if I want to add some funds temporarily to ease cashflow from my savings as it were, do I categorise that as 'owner deposit'?

 

Thanks

Hi Allante666

 

Yes, you would categorise the transaction as an owner deposit.

ok understood. thank you. So, what categories would you suggest to differentiate between 'cost of good for resale' (I build guitar amp cabinets so this would be mainly wood and hardware used) and 'Consumables' such as screws, glue, small hand tools etc (Im taking consumables to mean pretty much anything that has a limited life but is not neccessarily going to be used on one particular job)

Hi Allante666

 

You can categorise these items as Cost of goods for resale. We must make you aware that we are not accountants and any advise should be an accountant or HMRC.
