We're really loving Books and its integration with Inventory!

One area, however, that we seem to struggle with is the ability to separate the cost of goods or services and the associated sales tax when manually creating or matching expenses. For our accounting and tax purposes it's important for us to be able to clearly identify the sales tax that we have paid on all receipts. The only workaround I can think of is to manually enter two separate expenses for a single receipt: one for the cost of goods/services, and another for the tax paid. Only in this manner are we able to associate the expenses of a single receipt to the appropriate expense categories. This, it seems to me, is an unnecessary amount of work for what is a standard practice of accounting for sales tax.

Is it possible to update the manual and matched expense forms so that they both can accommodate the costs of goods/services and the associated sales tax? Ideally, the forms would provide the following options:

* Main Charge + Option for Selecting Expense Account

* Tax Charge + Option for Selecting Expense Account

I think this would be a great benefit to most users.

Thanks, and keep up the great work!
