Paid last year for business trip this year. When to claim for taxes?

[archipirata]

I have a business trip coming up related to my self owned business. I paid for the trip at the end of last year. Do I claim the trip expense on 2022 or 2023 taxes?

Claim it when you paid for it.

Cash or accrual method of accounting? Cash - claim in 2022. Accrual - claim in 2023.
