As businesses continue to expand, financial processing becomes more and more complex. Among them, the situation that the collection has not been invoiced occurs from time to time, which brings certain troubles to the accounting processing of the enterprise. This article will provide practical solutions and suggestions for enterprises on how to do accounting for collected and uninvoiced.
1. Overview of the unbilled receipts.
Received and uninvoiced refers to the situation where the enterprise has received the customer's money, but has not yet issued an invoice to the customer. This situation is not uncommon in the course of business operations, mainly because of the time lag between the issuance of invoices and the collection of invoices. In order to ensure the accuracy and compliance of enterprise finances, the handling of uninvoiced receipts is particularly important.
2. Accounting treatment of collected and uninvoiced.
1.Ledger account setup.
In terms of account setting, it is recommended that enterprises set up a secondary account of "received but not invoiced" under the accounts receivable account. This makes it possible to distinguish between the amount received and the accounts receivable that have not yet been invoiced, so as to facilitate future accounting processing and reconciliation.
2.The specific accounting process.
1) When receiving the customer's money, "bank deposit" is debited and "accounts receivable - received and not invoiced" is credited.
2) After confirming the invoicing time, adjust the accounts receivable account according to the invoice amount. "Accounts receivable - received not invoiced" (red) is debited and "Bank Deposit" (red) is credited. At the same time, "Accounts receivable - xx customers" is debited and "main business income" is credited.
3) If the customer returns or refunds, "Accounts receivable - received and not invoiced" (in red) shall be debited and "bank deposit" (in red) shall be credited. At the same time, other relevant subjects are adjusted according to the actual situation.
3. Tax treatment of received and uninvoiced.
1.VAT treatment.
For the VAT treatment of the received and uninvoiced, the enterprise should truthfully fill in the relevant amount in the tax return to ensure the accuracy of the VAT calculation. At the same time, it should be noted that the tax law stipulates that uninvoiced income is also subject to VAT.
2.Corporate income tax treatment.
In terms of income tax, the income received and not invoiced should also be included in the taxable income of the enterprise. Enterprises need to ensure the completeness and accuracy of income tax calculations to avoid tax risks arising from omissions.
Fourth, how to avoid the problem of unbilled receipts.
1.Strengthen internal controls.
Enterprises should establish a sound internal control system to ensure effective communication between sales and finance departments. By strengthening internal control, we can reduce the occurrence of uninvoiced receipts and improve the financial management level of enterprises.
2.Follow up the progress of invoice issuance in a timely manner.
For the money that has been received, the financial department should follow up the progress of invoice issuance in a timely manner to ensure that the invoice is issued at the appropriate time. This increases customer satisfaction while reducing unnecessary tax risks.
3.Improve the quality of financial personnel.
Financial personnel should continuously improve their professional quality and business ability, and accurately grasp the relevant laws and regulations on finance and taxation. By improving the quality of financial personnel, errors and omissions in accounting processing can be reduced and the financial risk of enterprises can be reduced.
5. Summary and Suggestions.
