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

Most probably... it should be in the Staff Welfare accounting head.

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!
