I am not sure what i am missing in the exercise, can you please check I think i have right code

getting a compiler error

struct.swift 
struct Expense {
    var description: String
    var amount: Double = 0.0

    init (description: String) {
        self.description = description
    }

    func calculateTaxes(percentage: Double) -> Double {

      return (self.amount * (percentage/100))

    }
    // add the calculateTaxes method here
    // it should accept only one parameter named 'percentage' of type Double

    var item = Expense(description: "Travel to New York")
    item.amount = 100.00

}

var item = Expense(description: "Travel to New York")
item.amount = 100.00

The code above is inside your Expense structure. Place it outside and that should fix the problem :)
