Enter the full invoice under the “Sales of goods”<\/b> or “Sales of services”<\/b> category.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n This accurately reflects your gross income<\/b>, as required by tax authorities. \n \n The fees retained by Stripe, Mollie, or others should be recorded as an expense<\/b>. You can categorise these under:<\/p>\n “Other fees”<\/b> \u200b<\/p>\n These fees are usually easy to find in the monthly reports<\/b> or statements from the payment platform. \n When the reduced amount<\/b> lands in your bank account:<\/p>\n Link the bank transaction to the full invoice<\/b> in the app.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The amount won\u2019t match the invoice exactly, but since the platform fee was recorded separately<\/b>, your accounting remains clear and accurate.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Example : <\/h2>\n Let’s say you issue an invoice for \u20ac100<\/b> through Stripe. In Accountable, you should do the following :<\/p>\n Record \u20ac100<\/b> as revenue<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Record a \u20ac20<\/b> business expense (under “Interest & Bank charges”)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Link the \u20ac80<\/b> bank transaction to the \u20ac100<\/b> invoice<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This method ensures a clear view of your gross income, with transparent and compliant bookkeeping. \n Step<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Explanation<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 1. Record gross income<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Even if you only receive the net amount, record the full invoice total<\/b> (before fees) as revenue, under \u201cSales of goods\u201d <\/b>or \u201cSales of services.\u201d<\/b> 2. Record platform fees separately<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n The fees retained by the payment platform (like Stripe, Mollie, PayPal\u2026) should be recorded as an expense<\/b>, under \u201cOther fees.\u201d<\/b> 3. Link the net payment to the invoice<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n When the net<\/b> amount arrives in your bank account, link the bank transaction to the full invoice<\/b> in the app. Still need help?
