What expense category does a po box come under?
Search for an expense to categorize

There is no definitive answer to this question as it will depend on the business and how they use their PO Box. However, we have compiled a list of the most likely expense categories that a PO Box could come under, to help you make the best decision for your business.

1. Office Supplies

If your PO Box is used for business correspondence, such as receiving invoices or sending out marketing materials, then it is likely that it would come under the office supplies category. This is because a PO Box is essentially a physical address for your business, and as such, is necessary for the running of your business.

2. Rent

Another common expense category for a PO Box is rent. This is because, in order to have a PO Box, you must rent it from the post office. The cost of renting a PO Box will depend on the size of the box and the location, but it is typically a fairly small expense.

3. Shipping and Handling

If your PO Box is used for receiving shipments from suppliers or customers, then it is likely that it would come under the shipping and handling category. This is because the cost of shipping and handling will be associated with the PO Box itself, rather than with the business.

4. Miscellaneous

If your PO Box is used for a variety of purposes, or if you are not sure which expense category it falls under, then it is likely that it would come under the miscellaneous expense category. This is because the PO Box is not essential to the running of your business, but is still a necessary expense.

Ultimately, the expense category that a PO Box comes under will depend on the business and how they use their PO Box. However, we hope that this list has given you some guidance on which expense category is most appropriate for your business.
