How to do a bridge account to reconcile bank charge difference between invoice and receipt?

When I issue an invoice for GBP100, the client does pay GBP100 through bank transfer, but the bank will charge (say) GBP1 for the transaction so I actually get GBP99.  How do I enter these into QB?  In fact, do I pay tax on GBP100 or GBP99?

How to do a bridge account to reconcile bank charge difference between invoice and receipt?

Hello there, @FTKHW959.

 

We can record the invoice and payment without any bank fees. Then, create a deposit from the payment where you can deduct the bank fees.

 

To record the invoice:

 

  1. Go to the +New button.
  2. Select Invoice.
  3. Choose the customer.
  4. Select the product and enter the amount.
  5. Hit Save.

 

Once done, you can now receive the payment:

 

  1. Go to the +New button.
  2. Under Customers, select Receive payment.
  3. Choose the customer from the drop-down arrow.
  4. Select the payment method.
  5. Select Undeposited funds as the deposit to the account.
  6. Tick the checkbox next to the invoice you would like the payment to be applied.
  7. Hit Save and close.

 

Then, create a bank deposit:

 

  1. Go to the +New button.
  2. Under Other, select Bank deposit.
  3. Choose the account from the dropdown arrow.
  4. You should see the payment you entered in the Select Existing Payments section at the top.
  5. Place a checkmark to select the amount you want to deposit.
  6. From the Add funds to this deposit section, enter the amount of the bank service fee charged by the credit card company as a negative amount.
  7. From the Account section, select the Expense account you usually use in tracking bank fees.
  8. Verify that the deposit amount is correct.
  9. Hit Save to record the transaction.

 

You can also check out this article for an alternative to the above method: Record bank charges when receiving payment from the customer.

 

Additionally, I'm adding a link that contains detailed instructions on including a service fee for products or services you sell to customers: Add service fees manually to invoices.

 

Keep in touch if you need assistance entering a payment with bank fees. I’ll jump right back in to help and make sure you're taken care of. Enjoy the rest of the day.
