Recording mileage for easy tax returns
I'd like to be able to record mileage in a separate field so that I can get a total just as I would an amount. This would be particularly useful when I'm submitting my tax return as I have to enter the total amount of business mileage that I've undertaken during the relevant tax year..
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Hi Moira,
Thanks for the idea.
One way of doing this currently would be to record the mileage using the name field and tagging the expense as mileage, and then running a report on only that tag. One downside to that though, is that you wouldn't get a total, and if you used the amount field to count the distance, it would throw off all of the currency figures.
We have been thinking of creating a new type of expense separate from the standard expense form to keep track of mileage only. We would then add mileage reports on the report tab.
How do you think it would work best? Do you picture this as being a separate field on the current expense form, or as a separate type of expense?
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Hi,
Sorry, I thought I'd replied to this! I think it only need be another field on the current expense form. I like the sound of the separate standard expense form, but since I download everything into a spreadsheet, I could just filter that way.
If it were a separate form, then it would be good to be able to record journey from & journey to, mileage rate, total miles for journey & amount claimed with a running total for total miles.
I’m happy
