  • I've been searching the forum and seeing some ways to get around this but they all look pretty confusing. I thought I might ask this. If I have one ABN (Australian Business Number) and two businesses that I earn money via, instead of creating 2 separate businesses where I cant share the bank accounts between, can I just have one business in Wave b…

  • And with 4-5 days to corporate tax deadline. I don't have time for this crap. $450 deposit transaction manually deleted. We've done this hundreds of times, and it doesn't matter if the item to be deleted was imported or entered manually, but this was imported (from a now disconnected bank account). Again, shouldn't matter.. deletion always = dele…

  • We have an open ended billing account at one of our service providers. These are bills to us for payment. Charges continually added and periodically partial payments made, including advance payments (leaving a credit on our account). How do I record all of this in Wave? I’m thinking I should I record this as one bill in Wave and continually add li…

So when I upload my bank statement and want to categorize this expense in wave i.e.: payment for invoice sent in wave, it will not allow me to split the transaction unless it adds up to the …

  • I have a transaction that was an owner loan (transfer from personal bank account to business). The transaction was pulled into WaveApps automatically with the account set as the business bank account. However, I am not sure how to categorize it. I do not believe the transaction should be considered income, but rather an asset. However if I choose …

How many of you had to file under MTD? Did you use Wave's VAT100 report and then link this to suitable bridging software? What did you use and how did you get on? …

  • Good day, I'm new to Wave and need to enter all my slips from shopping for various items required for our 3 cottages that we rent out for holiday accommodation. At this point I won't be adding the bank account. Do I enter the slips under the shopping trolley icon, Receipts, or under the Accounting section?
