How do I classify Uber/ViaVan in my accountancy?

[Ricardo19ip]

Hello,

The other they I used ViaVan (it's the same than Uber but cheaper) and I used my business card to pay (it was a business trip).

I use Crunch but I see several options:
"Public transport and taxis"
"Vehicle Rentals"
"Company Van Running costs"
...

Which one should I use?
BTW, it appears that the receipt I received from them does not mention VAT, it seems it is zero.

Any clue?

Thanks a lot.

Do you have a company van? If not, that isn't an option...

Were you carrying goods for sale? If so, it's Cost of Sales under anything appropriate, such as shipping.

Otherwise, it's a taxi. Don't overthink these things, they are mostly irrelevant for small businesses.

VAT may not apply because the driver is self employed (...) and not VAT registered.

Thanks a lot, it makes sense, I was not sure.

I'd say it was Taxi fare. How come you're asking on here rather than asking Crunch directly?

Sounds like a taxi but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Post it there and move on with your life!
