Paying your team back for work-related expenses is a standard part of doing business in Canada. When an employee uses their own money for something work-related, whether it's for travel, tools, or even just grabbing coffee for a client meeting, you can pay them back through an expense reimbursement.

For your employees, this reimbursement isn't considered income, so they don't have to worry about it come tax time.

To make tracking this a breeze, you can use our Expense Category feature. It gives you a simple way to:

  • Create new categories for different types of expenses.
  • Add key details like tax codes and rates to keep your bookkeeping accurate.
  • Edit or delete categories anytime to keep your list current and tidy.
