# Handling shared bills & reimbursements

You may pay for bills or other expenses on behalf of someone else, and then you're reimbursed for their portion at a later date.

In Emma, the reimbursement is likely to be categorised automatically as 'Income'. To offset the category the bill or expense is assigned to, [recategorise](https://help.emma-app.com/en/article/change-a-transaction-category-iipyy2/) the income transaction to the same category. 

###### Example 

You have budgeted £50 for Emma for your portion of the electricity bill this month. You pay the entire electricity bill of £100, and this transaction is categorised as 'Bills'. Currently, your budget will show you're £50 over budget on Bills. 

Your partner reimburses you £50 the next day. Recategorise this £50 reimbursement from 'Income' to 'Bills'. This will offset your 'Bills' category and show you've only spent £50.
