Tracking your business expenses is crucial for maintaining solid business records, enabling effective expense management. It allows you to observe your business's growth, create financial statements, track deductible expenses, prepare tax returns, and substantiate your tax return claims.

Initially, you should implement a tracking system by providing it to your employees and authorizing monthly expenses. Pay special attention to five types of expense receipts:

Business Travel: Authorities often scrutinize business travels. They may require additional details to justify the expenses as purely business-related. Keeping receipts helps provide a record of your business activities while away.
Meals and Entertainment: Regular business meetings in hotels, cafes, or restaurants offer opportunities to discuss business and build relationships. Keep track of these expenses daily and note the attendees and purpose of the meeting on the back of the receipt.
Vehicle-Related Expenses: Record the details of business use of your vehicle and apply a percentage of the usage as related expenses.
Receipts for Gifts: When purchasing gifts for business relations, such as tickets to a sports event, categorize the expenses appropriately based on whether you attend the event with the recipient. Note these details on the receipt.
Home Office Receipts: If you operate your business from home, calculate the percentage of your home used for business and apply that percentage to home-related expenses. You may be eligible for tax breaks, depending on your country of residence and business.

Ensure that any expenses used for both private and business purposes are appropriately allocated. For example, if you have a phone line used for both personal and business calls, deduct the percentage used for business. Similarly, fuel mileage costs are 100% deductible, but be sure to keep all receipts and maintain a log of your business mileage.

This expense spreadsheet automatically generates an annual report each time you update the monthly expenses for all defined subcategories. The subcategories are comprehensive, but you can easily add, remove, and modify them.
