How to add GST to a transaction

GST is usually extracted automatically from uploaded receipts on Premium plans. If it wasn’t detected or is incorrect, you can add or correct it manually.

How to add GST manually

  • Open Transactions in the sidebar (or the Transactions tab in the mobile app).
  • Select the transaction that needs GST added.
  • Choose the correct GST option from the GST dropdown (e.g. GST 10%).
  • The total is split between the GST amount and the ex-GST amount automatically.

Tip: Changes save automatically — no need to click a separate save button.

Common questions

Does GST get extracted automatically?
On Premium plans, yes — Budgetly’s AI reads the GST from uploaded receipts. On Essentials, you need to add it manually. See Automated GST extraction.
Can I override the automatically extracted GST?
Yes. Edit the GST field on the transaction at any time. Your manual entry takes priority.
