If you need to reimburse your employees for purchases made for your company, you are entitled for a GST credit on the reimbursement.

To set that up in AccountRight, you'll first need to setup a clearing account and payroll category for reimbursements, then change your Superannuation Exemption settings to accurately record your reimbursements.

 

1. Setup a clearing account
  1. Go to the Accounts command centre and click Accounts List.
  2. Click the Liability tab.
  3. Click New. The Edit Accounts window is displayed.
  4. In the Account Type field, select Credit Card.
  5. Enter the new number for this account, then press Tab.
  6. Give the account an appropriate name, such as 'Employee Reimbursements'. The Edit Accounts window will look similar to the following example:
  7. Click OK.
2. Setup a payroll category
  1. Go to the Payroll command centre and click Payroll Categories.
  2. Click the Wages tab.
  3. Click New. The Wages Information window is displayed.
  4. Give the category an appropriate name, such as 'Employee Reimbursement'.
  5. For the Type of Wages, select the Salary option.
  6. Select the Override Employees' Wage Expense Account option and select the account created in Task 1.
    Note: When you select this account, a warning message will appear saying that the account for wages expenses is usually an expense account. Disregard this message. Refer to the Wages Information window shown below:
  7. Click Exempt. The Wages Exemption window is displayed.
  8. Select PAYG Withholding as shown below.
  9. Click OK.
  10. Click Employee. The Linked Employees window appears.
  11. Select the employee(s) who will be reimbursed.
  12. Click OK to both the Linked Employees and Wages Information windows.

For more information, visit our page on Payroll categories.

3. Exempt the reimbursement from superannuation calculations
  1. Go to the Payroll command centre and click Payroll Categories.
  2. Click the Superannuation tab.
  3. Click the zoom arrow next to the Superannuation Guarantee category. The Superannuation Information window is displayed.
  4. Click Exempt. The Superannuation Exemptions window is displayed.
  5. Select the wages category created in Task 2, in our example this is Employee Reimbursement.
  6. Click OK to both the Superannuation Exemptions and Superannuation Information windows.
4. Reimbursing an employee
  1. Enter the reimbursement through the employee paycheque against the Employee Reimbursement wage category.
  2. Record a Spend Money transaction (via the Banking command centre). The purpose of this transaction is to:
    • Return the Employee Reimbursement Liability account to a zero balance by selecting this account in the Pay from Account field.
    • Allocate the expense to the appropriate expense account.
    • Allocate a GST tax code so that the GST paid is recognised.

 

 

 

  FAQs


How do I add the items and expenses related to a job onto the customer’s invoice?

Click Reimburse to see a list of all the job purchases and expenses you have assigned a job number to, that can now be reimbursed on the sale.

How do I set a credit limit or put an account on hold?

You should enter the credit limit you've assigned in each customer's card. If you want to stop sales from being recorded for customers who have exceeded their credit limit, you can place them on hold.
