Invoice issued from financial year 2022 – for services in 2023

2022-12-31

Question

Hello everyone!

I started my own business as a secondary occupation in December, so I’m still new to all the regulations. I provide services (dog grooming), so nothing is sold. This means I have relatively ‘simple’ accounting, which I now do myself.I have now enrolled in a professional training course, and I had to pay to confirm my enrolment. I have now received the invoice, which is of course also dated December 2022 (when I made the payment). I assume I have to enter this expense in the 2022 financial year?

This means I will have a loss this financial year, so I originally thought it would be better to enter it in the 2023 financial year, but then I will probably run into problems because the expenses were incurred on 26/12/2022?

I know that you can also adjust a fiscal date in Dexxter, but I don’t dare to set it to 01/2023 without knowing what I’m doing.

Thanks in advance!

I also think that, according to theory, you should put it in 2022... But did you make the payment in 23 (or is it still to be done)? The training will also continue in 23...

I'm just searching for reasons why you would still enter this in 23. It only seems 'certain' to me if you are going to pay. If I read your message good, you only paid in 23, so it is only certain (and therefore in the accounts) in 23. I would therefore dare to enter it in 23.

The training course will take place in '23, as you say, so for that reason alone I would set the effective fiscal date to 01/2023. I don't think anyone will lose any sleep over it :)

Regards,

Kendra
