In this document we will be going over the 2 scenarios where a disbursement is needed in a law firm.

Scenario #1:

Internal Expense:

Such as printing/copying/fax etc. For these internal expenses you would enter it as a disbursement by Enter disbursements . When posting these disbursements , you will not have paid any GST yet. Therefore there is no GST input credit. There is only GST on billing as seen below, that is why you can’t manipulate the amount of GST later on.

Scenario #2:

Expense Paid To A 3rd Party:

Such as travel, parking etc. This is where you have already paid to the vendor and it included GST, for these disbursement expenses, you can post then by either Write general chq or Enter Vendor Invoice. This GST amount is your GST input credit, you may manipulate the amount of GST input credit according to the GST amount on the invoice as seen below.

You should now be able to add disbursements with GST.
