How expense totals and tax work
Understand how amount and tax combine, and what Bill to Client and Business Deductible change.
An expense's total is the Amount plus any tax you add in the Tax section. The project's Total spent is the sum of every expense total.
Two options that change things
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Bill to Client | Adds this cost to the client's balance for reimbursement. You can set a different amount to charge the client than you paid. |
| Business Deductible | Marks the cost as a deductible business expense. It's on by default and feeds the deductible figure in the project Summary. |
Both live under Add details when you add or edit an expense.
Tax you type in is added on top of the amount. When you scan a receipt, the tax is read as already included in the total.
