[SL] Setting up accounts for business use of home.


Hi everybody,

I've been setting up sql-ledger on my system, for my small business 
that I run out of my home (I'm in Canada).   I've got my chart of 
accounts mostly setup, and my invoice templates are looking good now, 
but I'm wondering how I should deal with business use of home expenses.

I am able to write off a certain percentage of my power, heat, mortgage 
interest, etc at tax time.  So I was thinking that I would just enter 
that percentage of the expense in to my accounts and be done with it.  
However, the actual tax form needs the full value spent and has a space 
to take the appropriate percentage as part of the form.  Should I just 
do the reverse calcualution at tax time?  What I would like to see is a 
percentage as part of the chart.

Mark
