Accounting documents and document entries
Business accounting is always based on documents. The document can be paper or electronic. Accounting is largely formal and it is easiest to keep receipts in order on a daily basis. The customer, ie the taxpayer, is responsible for the correctness of the documents as well as the content of the document and sufficient information for the accountant to be able to enter the document correctly in the accounts.
Often the customer asks how much VAT they will receive from the previous month. In order for us to answer this, we need all the accounting documents to be accounted for on time.
The supporting documents must be adequately marked and the supporting documents must be clear. For example, it is not necessary to rewrite the “taxi receipt” on the taxi receipt. Instead, the receipt should write briefly how the expense relates to the business (eg customer visit, freight transport to the customer, etc.). Who has traveled from where to why and why.
Consider a situation where a tax audit or audit is performed retrospectively - when the information is found in the document ready, the audits run more smoothly and the accountant has correctly recorded the transaction directly with the information obtained from the document.
Briefly tell the accountant by marking on the receipt what it is all about. so happy too much as too little. This is how we succeed together!
Schedules for salary information to be delivered
Salary information, expense and travel invoices must be submitted at least five working days before the payment date so everything will be paid on time and with right fashion. We recommend submitting all expense and travel invoices on a calendar monthly basis.
Receipts for accounting must be delivered immediately at the beginning of the following month, but no later than the tenth day. For example, receipts for February must be submitted by March 10th.
PDF documents format
The PDF document must show the same things as the paper document. When scanning PDF document, keep the following in mind:
- the scanned document is facing the right way and can be read easily
- all information in the document is clearly visible
Pay attention to the following things in particular:
- the seller and the seller's business ID
- purchased products or services
- VAT breakdown
One PDF file must contain only one document. Avoid a situation where a VAT breakdown has been covered or removed with a hole punch or stapler rivets.
For accounting purposes, a more relevant document is a cash receipt than a receipt printed by a payment terminal. The receipt of the payment terminal is not a receipt, but is a proof of payment for the payment. A receipt showing the VAT breakdown must be shown in the accounts.
You can save PDF document in the customer's own Receipt Folder or send them to the accountant in a single e-mail. Choose whichever is easier for you.
