Hello,

I am new to zohobooks and its been a good while since I had an accounting class. I run a small auto repair business, and am having trouble billing customers. For example, lets say I am doing a job with only 2 line items. Line 1 is labor, line 2 is a part that needed to be replaced on a customers vehicle. What I have been doing currently is purchasing the part, paying tax on it at purchase, then passing the full cost onto the customer. So for the example the invoice would go:

Labor (tax not included) $50

Part (tax included) $10

Tax (on labor) $3.38

Total $63.38

How do I properly expense the part I am purchasing through my business, to then pass the cost onto the customer, so that Zohobooks records this in the proper way so that my profit/income statement comes back correct?

Thank you for any help!
