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
- Go to More, then Expenses.
- Tap Select and tick the expenses you want to change.
- 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.
