When I add petrol into sole trader, it seems to keep it separate from my other outgoings, its states that it needs to be approved?  which means my monthly outgoings are wrong?  how do I change this or get it approved?  Also it doesnt let me change the amount from 0.45pm to the new 0.55pm, any ideas how to change this also.

 

Thanks all

To ensure your petrol expense is reflected correctly in your monthly outgoings, you need to Categorize and Save the transaction under Bank Transactions. It will appear in your reports right away.

 

Here’s how:

 

  1. Go to Transactions > Bank Transactions and locate the petrol entry.
  2. Click the pencil icon to edit it.
  3. Under the Category tab, select the correct expense category, then click Save.
  4. Once done, run your Reports to verify that the change is reflected in your monthly reports.

 

On the other hand, the standard mileage rate is currently hardcoded in the system and can't be manually adjusted. Our team is working on a system update to roll out the new HMRC changes for the 2026/2027 tax year.
