# Categories & CRA/T2125 mapping

Every business receipt lands in a category built around Canadian business expenses — the same buckets a T2125 (Statement of Business or Professional Activities) actually uses.

**How it helps**

Consistent categories are the difference between records an accountant can use and a pile they have to re-sort. Stacko suggests a category at extraction time and keeps the list aligned with CRA context, so year-end grouping is already done.

**Using it**

- Stacko suggests a category when it reads the receipt — change it if it guessed wrong.
- Business categories map toward T2125 lines; on Business-plan accounts the Receipts table can show the CRA line number for each expense.
- Personal expenses use a separate set of personal categories so they never mix into business totals.

**Good to know**

- Categories are suggestions to review, not tax rulings.
- Recategorize anytime — exports use whatever the record says at export time.
