Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t add income/expenses — the Property list is blank

• You must first add at least one property under Manage Properties.
• Ensure the property is marked as Active.

My property doesn’t show up in the drop-down

• Check that it is marked “Active” in the Manage Properties list.
• Refresh your page after adding a new property.

I entered the date but got an error

• Only formats DD-MM-YYYY or DD/MM/YY are accepted.
• Example: 01-06-2024 or 01/06/24.

I accidentally entered the wrong record

• Use Delete to archive it.
• Then re-add with the correct details.

Categories look wrong

• The Property Expenses ledger uses a fixed list (set by HMRC).
• Unlike “Self Employment”, you can’t create custom categories.

I want to track deposits separately

• Use Description (e.g. “Deposit retained”).
• If it’s taxable, enter it as Property Income.
