Greetings & Happy New Year Community!
First, thanks to the developers of this software, it’s a breath of fresh air and although I prefer to use the free desktop version, I’m happy to donate on annual basis to support continued development (assuming I can make it work for my needs)
Here’s my questions, any feedback is truly appreciated
- I use Square and Stripe to receive a portion of my incoming revenue, these companies withhold a small processing fee
When the money hits my bank, it is the net amount (typically the invoice amount minus 2.9% + $0.30) therefore when I record the receipt, the invoice is not zeroed out
Is there a way to deal with this on the receipt screen, or is it a matter of doing a journal entry to deal with the shortfall each time this happens?
- At the end of the calendar year I have certain clients that pay for services for the upcoming year, often it’s a payment for services provided in December of the current year plus services to occur in Jan/Feb of the upcoming year
I would prefer to show all sales in the correct year
When I create the invoice, how do I handle this?
- I am located in Canada and that does not appear to be a supported country in Manager (hopefully one day)
Anyway, we have a tax called HST in my province, basically we need to track tax collected and tax paid and remit the difference to the government at the end of the year (or apply for a refund if we paid more HST than we collected)
Since there are no tax accounts in Manager for this purpose, I created an HST Collected and an HST Paid account as liability accounts
My thought is, I will allocate the HST portions of client invoices and routine expenses to these accounts
I guess my question is multi-part
a) Is that possible?
b) Is that the preferred method?
c) How do you deal with the difference at the end of the year? One account is always going to have more than the other so where does the difference go? Is it a journal entry, if so, what does it look like?
