Hi there,
I'm a newbie to Quickbooks, so apologies in advance if this is a simple question!
I run a record label and account to artists for download royalties - these royalties are paid to be by a distributor in one lump sum per month. These are paid out 50% each artist, then 50% to myself.
A question, how do I split the lump transaction up? As the money that is due to artists is paid through to them directly, and I only keep what I am owed, and as such that is the only income that should be taxable.
i.e.
The distributor pays £500. I owe an artist £250, and I earn £250. It's the latter £250 that I want to actually register as business income, with the other £250 (artist) off my balance sheet.
Hopefully, this makes some sort of sense.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Community, @yadayadauk. Let me help you in splitting transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE).
To split a transaction, record each of them separately. In your situation, you can record the first £250 as an income, and the other half as an expense.
If you're unsure of the categories to use, I suggest consulting an accountant. They can advise you with the steps to take, and also keep your books accurate.
