Category: Select Mileage or Expense Claim, as applicable.
Receipt Date: Select the date that the expense was incurred. This will be the date of your receipt.
Description: This is mandatory. Detail the reason you incurred this expense. This will help your Approval Manager understand why they should authorise this expense so add as much detail as you can.
Units: In the case of Mileage, this field is for the number of miles you completed for this journey. For all other expenses, this is the number of items you purchased.
- Mileage Claims: Enter the agreed ‘rate per business mile’ i.e. enter 0.24 to claim 24p per business mile.
- Expense Claims: You need to enter the Net Cost to your business.
o Not VAT Registered: Enter the full amount which you paid for this expense. This will be the Gross amount on your receipts. This will be used as the Gross amount on your invoice/ self-bill invoice.
o VAT Registered: Enter the Net cost to your Limited company e.g. a £120 hotel receipt that breakdown as £100 Net, £20 VAT, £120 Gross would be input as £100 into the Unit Net Rate box. Please disregard the Sales Tax Rate on this form. Although this states 0% Tax, your self-bill invoice will add VAT to the amount on your Expense Claim. If you are not self-billing, you will need to add VAT onto the Gross amount of this Expense Claim.
