Splitting expenses
Some of your transactions may contain multiple items with their own tax rates, or belong to different accounting categories. In these cases, you can split your expense in up to 10 parts to report each properly.
To check if you're on the new app interface, see this FAQ.
To split your expense
If you're on the new app interface:
- Go to 'Expenses' (on mobile: tap your profile in the top-right corner, then 'Expenses')
- Select the expense
- Click '...' in the top-right, then 'Split expense'
- Add up to 10 splits, fill in the split amounts, and save
If you're not on the new app interface:
- Go to 'Hub'
- Open 'Expenses'
- Select the expense
- Click 'Split expense'
- Add up to 10 splits, fill in the split amounts, and save
You can then enter the expense category and tax rate of each split, before submitting your expense.
To remove the split
If you're on the new app interface:
- Go to 'Expenses' (on mobile: tap your profile in the top-right corner, then 'Expenses')
- Select the expense
- Click '...' in the top-right, then 'Undo expense split'
If you're not on the new app interface:
- Go to 'Hub'
- Select 'Expenses'

If you can't see the option to split your expenses
If expense category and tax rate aren't required fields, you won't be able to split your expense unless you have the 'Manage Expenses' permission. Team members with the permission 'Enrolled in Expenses' can only view required fields.
Expenses can only be split as long as they're not completed. Admins can click on 'Revert decision' to reset expenses back to the 'Expense info required' state and apply a split.
If approvals (non-Basic plans only) are enabled, reviewers can also split the expense while the expense is 'Pending review'.
