If you need to claim back the VAT on expenses, you can find out the amount by clicking on the 'Calculate' button below the VAT field to get the amount automatically calculated for you.

The Category dropdown will pertain to what this expense would fit in, and these are created by you. 

The Vendor dropdown is the same as the Category field.

The Invoice Date is the date that you received the invoice for the expense, and the Paid Date is the date that you paid for the expense.

In the Description field, you can input any details that pertain to the expense, such as a detailed list of stock that needed to be purchased or any further elaboration on the expense.

If you have an invoice that you want to keep on the Clica cloud, you can upload the invoice by clicking on the Choose File button under the Invoice Upload heading.
