How to Allocate Personal Transactions

Use the Allocate option to reconcile:

  • Personal (private) transactions

  • Non-deductible expenses

  • Transactions from accounts not linked to TaxTank (e.g. loan repayments or internal transfers)

You can also create your own custom personal categories to keep things organised your way.

Step 1 – Select 'Allocate'

Choose the relevant bank account, go to the Reconcile tab, and select Allocate from the dropdown.

Step 2 – Choose 'Personal'

Select the Personal Icon.

Step 3 – Select or Create a Category

Start typing what the transaction is for – like “groceries”, “dining out” or “personal income”.

You can pick an existing category or create your own custom category if what you need isn’t listed.

Step 4 – Attach a Receipt (Optional)

Click the paperclip to upload or drag in a receipt. Once attached, the icon will turn green. All uploaded receipts are saved in your Spare Tank for future reference.

Step 5 – Confirm

Click Continue to finalise the allocation.
