Are you creating invoices with copyright income via Creative Shelter? In this article, we explain how to easily add and encode these invoices in Accountable.

A. How do you set up the automatic transfer of your Creative Shelter invoices to Accountable?

By setting up your Creative Shelter account, your invoices will be automatically added to Accountable in the Revenue section.

1. Log on to Craft (Creative Shelter platform) and go to your account, then click on "Accounting and integrations".

2. In the "E-mail address" section, type revenue@accountable.eu

3. For "Accountable e-mail address": enter the e-mail address linked to your Accountable account (login address).

4. Under "Frequency", enter by invoice or credit note.

B. Finalize the encoding of your invoice

1/ You will find the automatically sent invoice in the Income section:

2/ Check invoice encoding and adapt if necessary

The system will automatically separate the invoice into two items:

• 1ᵉʳ item: sales of services at 21% VAT

→ When encoding, be sure to check the invoice for the amount, the VAT rate and that these correspond to the invoice.

→ The category is "sales of services".

• 2nd Item: Copyright income with 6% VAT

→ When encoding, be sure to check the invoice for the amount, the VAT rate and that these correspond to the invoice.

→ Category is “copyright revenue”.

C/ Tax impact

In the Taxes screen > In­come tax sub­mis­sion - point 9 "review", you'll find the amounts of your invoice which are separated, as there is a sales of service section and another section for copyright revenue:

• In the screenshot below, you'll find in purple, the amount of €552 corresponding to the sale of service in box XVII - 1600

• Also in green, you'll find the copyright income section with :

  → in box VII - 1117: the gross amount of copyright revenue

  → in box VII - 1118: Ex­pens­es (fixed or real)

  → in box VII - 1119: the amount of withholding tax.
