I think it should be under Staff amenities. The expense should be booked including all taxes therein.

If your accounting software doesn’t have a specific head for **donations or charitable expenses**, here’s what you can do:
### Best Practice:
* Create a **new expense ledger/account** named something like:
* **“Donations”**
* **“Charitable Contributions”**
* **“Charity Expenses”**
If the software does not allow creating new heads:
* Use a general **“Miscellaneous Expenses”** or **“Other Expenses”** account temporarily.
* But try to keep donations separate if possible for reporting and tax purposes.
---
### Why separate?
* Donations often have specific tax treatments and reporting requirements.
* Separate accounting helps track total donations easily.
---
### Summary:
| Situation | What to do |
| --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Software allows adding new expense head | Create “Donations” or similar |
| Software does not allow new heads | Use “Miscellaneous Expenses” temporarily but track separately outside |
---
If you want, I can help you draft how to set it up or post entries in your software. Just let me know!
