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!
