Expense categories and GST

How JobFlo groups your costs, and what the GST field is for.

Every expense can be tagged with a category so your reports show where your money is going. JobFlo uses five categories:

  • Materials — parts and supplies used on a job
  • Labour — money you paid someone else for work
  • Travel — fuel, tolls, parking and other travel costs
  • Equipment — tools and gear
  • Other — anything that does not fit the above

The GST field

If you are registered for GST, each expense has a GST paid field. Enter the GST portion of what you spent so it feeds into your BAS report. When a cost includes GST it is usually one-eleventh of the total — tap the 1/11 shortcut and JobFlo works it out for you.

Changing categories in bulk

  1. Go to More, then Expenses.
  2. Tap Select and tick the expenses you want to change.
  3. Tap Category and choose one — it is applied to every selected expense.

The GST field only appears for GST-registered businesses. You can set whether you are registered in your business settings.
