How to categorise my tax?

Just paid last year's self assessment. How do I input this please? Is it a business expense or a personal?

Hello Steve9000, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

So you would have to exclude this type of transaction. An income tax payment is an expense but as it's classed as a liability that your paying it should be expensed out of a liability account so it doesn't show on your P&L but you cant do this in QBSE so you just have to exclude that type of transaction in your account.
