Hello , i have not option to add VAT when recording expenses.

Let’s review your VAT codes in your Tax settings, Liberta.

 

Please know that when a tax code is set up only for sales, it won’t appear on expense transactions. We need to make sure the VAT codes you want to use are set up to apply to Purchases/Expenses.

 

Here’s how to apply tax codes to your expenses:

 

  1. In the Taxes center, find your list of VAT rates/codes.
  2. Look for an option to Edit or Add a new tax rate.
  3. When setting up or editing a tax code, ensure to complete the on-screen steps.

If the VAT option still isn’t showing, you’ll need to enable it when creating an expense. Here’s how:

 

  1. Click the + Create button.
  2. Under Suppliers, select Expense.
  3. On the expense page, click the small Gear icon.
  4. Check the box for the TAX column to turn it on.
