Hi @Fanflame
You’re right - with a sole trader business, there’s no legal separation between the proprietor and the business itself, so any money you take out personally is classed as drawings rather than a salary.
The dates in the nominal report would usually correspond with the dates from your bank statement on QuickFile. You would need to go through your bank statement and untag those transactions and tag them as a transfer to the drawings account, either by tagging it as a direct transfer, like this:
and then:
Or by using the salary and drawings option:
and then ensuring ‘Proprietor Drawings’ has been selected, complete the name box and save:
Both of the above actually do the same, it’s just however you wish to treat it. If on occasions you’ve not selected ‘Proprietor Drawings’, it would tag it as a salary and show up on your P&L, as you’ve seen. I suspect this may have been what’s happened in your case.
As you’re completing your year end, you may find this post useful too.
Hope that helps!
