    Hi carljh 

     

    Welcome to MYOB and the Community Forum. As we're not accountants we're not permitted to advise on allocation accounts/tax codes or how these transactions should be recorded. I'd recommend discussing with your accountant the accounts you need to create and the transactions you need to record. Once you have that information I'll be happy to assist with how to record those transactions in the software. 

     

    Generally speaking, you could set the woman up as a supplier and as a customer. You could enter bills for the amounts owed to her and invoices for the amounts she owes, like half the expenses. You can then offset these amounts using a contra account. The Help article, Dealing with a supplier who is also a customer, has detailed information on this. 

     

    Please let me know how you go.
