How can I report gross purchases in P&L for a non VAT registered client? I have reported the VAT when posting the purchases to QB.

Thank you for your first visit to the Community forum, Dj. I can share some steps to report the gross purchases in the Profit and Loss (P&L) report.

If you're trying to make a billable purchase to a non-VAT registered client, you can create an expense transaction for your purchases with the amount excluding taxes. Then, make it billable to your client.

1. Select the transaction type you want to enter for the purchase.
2. Fill in the details, then mark the Billable column.
3. Pick the desired name under Customer/Project.
4. Save the transaction.

Then, you may track the VAT amount as a separate entry. I recommend consulting an accountant for help and more options to manage your books accordingly.

Once done, run your report to review the posting of your entries.
