on the tab vs in the tab

Both 'on the tab' and 'in the tab' are not commonly used phrases in English. The correct preposition to use with 'tab' depends on the context. 'On the tab' could be used to refer to being responsible for paying a bill in a bar or restaurant, but 'in the tab' doesn't have a standard usage in English.
