Sorry, I could have sworn it was there somewhere. Anyway, the principle is very simple - create a new “bank account” in QuickFile called something like “Contra invoicing holding account”. Now whenever you have one of these payments to process you create:
- a sales invoice for £530 for the incoming rent
- a purchase for £35 for the outgoing commission
both of these could be done using the recurring invoice/purchase mechanism if they’re the same every month. When the £495 payment lands in your current account, tag that as a bank transfer from the contra account, and then at the same time log payments in full on both the invoice and the purchase against the same contra bank account. The net result is that both the invoice and purchase show as fully paid, the £495 in your current account is tagged, and the contra account balance is zero.
