How are motoring expenses recorded?

Thanks for coming back and clarifying the exact motoring expenses you want to enter. It's my priority to help you record the trips in QuickBooks Online (QBO), m-cordingley-tis.

We can manually the trips and vehicle info during the year so you have everything you need to make deductions at tax time. Just turn on the mobile app and let QuickBooks handle the rest. All you have to do is categorise the trip so they'll post correctly in on your VAT figures. f you haven't already, set up the automatic mileage tracking feature. Before you start tracking trips, add your vehicles to QuickBooks Online. This way, you can match trips to the right vehicle. Here's how to add trips manually:

1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online in a web browser.
2. Go to Apps and select Mileage.
3. Select Add trip.
4. Add the trip date, starting and ending locations, distance, and purpose.
5. Select the vehicle you used.
6. Press Save.

Then, categorise your mileage by following the steps below:

1. Go to Apps and select Mileage.
2. Find the trip and select the checkbox.
3. Select Mark as Business or Mark as Personal for the type.
4. Review the details.
5. If you need to edit the location or distance, select the trip, make your changes and then select Save.

To access where the trips are entered, follow the steps below:
