Stripe payments

Question

Hello everyone,

I am a Pilates instructor. I organise my own classes, and people (private individuals) can make a purchase for a single session or a package of five sessions. These payments are made directly through the booking platform. Every week, I receive payment via Stripe for the amount of sessions I sold during that week. Stripe automatically deducts their platform fees here from the platform fee amount. I am not subject to VAT. Now I was wondering how best to process this in my accounts. The most practical thing would obviously be to fill in the weekly payment once a week as daily receipts. The platform fees have already been deducted from this amount.

Now I was wondering if this is correct? Because a customer can, for example, make purchases of a session on Monday, but then I have entered this income on Friday.


I also wondered how to deal with Stripe’s platform costs. I did not receive on an overview or invoice for these costs from them. Of course, I could ask them about this.

Thank you!

If you are a Pilates instructor, you are a so-called 'benefit recipient'. A benefit recipient is taxable at the moment they receive the income. So if you only receive that income once a week, it is correct to fill it in once a week in your daily receipts.

I would indeed request the platform costs, as these are 100% deductible.

Hi, I just asked a similar question, but Dexxter advised me to book this on a daily basis, which is extremely cumbersome. I would appreciate WDV's answer. I get paid once a month.

Stripe does not automatically provide invoices from the costs (Mollie does), I just sent an email to request this invoice, but have not yet received an answer. This can indeed be booked as expenses.
