I have an annual expense of a permit paid to council. I add it under Expenses for the date I pay each year (once) but it seems to be adding it to previous years payments

Hi debjeacle, 

Thanks for posting in the Community! If you're paying an expense with different dates, you'll need to record it separately. Doing so, the amounts will be reported on the correct financial year. Let me guide you on how to check the dates of these expenses. 

1. On your Dashboard, go to Expenses section.
2. Set the report period to This financial year.
3. Click on the amount paid for the expense.
4. On the Transaction Report, check the date of the expenses you've recorded.

You can edit the date or amount on the expense that should be reflected on that report period. Furthermore, you can run a Profit and Loss report to view more details of your expenses on different accounts. 

Feel free to drop a comment below if you have any other questions. I'm here to help.
