Receipts: transfer vs expense

I've just joined Quickbooks UK Self Emplyed and opened a small business online a few days ago.

 

I automatically linked PayPal and it imported a couple of business expenses on Quickbooks.

Quickbooks shows 2 different types of transactions:

(1) Transfer +£2.95 (in green)

(2) Business -£2.95 (in black) - note that I categorised it as business on purpose

For both options I have an option to include a receipt. I will have a receipt for the -£2.95 payment, but PayPal has automatically took the (1) transfer to obviously pay for (2) so do I need to include a receipt for this one also?

 

Do I ever need to include receipts for transfers to my business account or are they needed for expenses only? I'm at a very beginning stage of having my own business so want to make sure that I understand it well.

 

Do I need receipts for 100% of my expenses or is there a certain level under which you don't need a receipt?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Receipts: transfer vs expense

Welcome to the QuickBooks family, A253. I'm here to help you.

 

You can include the receipts. Not only for the expenses, but for tracking purposes as well. However, you also have the option not to include these receipts for all of your transactions.
