Hi there JM66 👋
This sounds like the perfect use case for the Split expense function available when recording an expense.
Here's how you can do this in Solo:
- When entering the expense details, tap Expense type and select Split.
- Add one line item for the personal portion and a second line item for business portion, and make sure to label them as Personal and Business respectively, and selecting an appropriate category with GST for the Business portion of the expense
- Once you've reviewed your entry, make sure to hit the Save button to record the expense
It'll look a little something like this:
I hope that answered your question, but let me know if any of the steps are unclear. And if you're ever fuzzy about which category is appropriate, we recommend consulting with a trusted accountant or bookkeeper qualified to provide tailored advice on these and other topics. 💜

Thank you, actually your answer was incorrect, but it helped me work out a way to do it, both items were business expenses, just that one was gst free.
I did eventually work it out, account right didn’t need a split transaction to get the correct gst amount, Solo has some quirks to get used to.
Looking for something else?
