Let's go
You are obliged to enter all cash withdrawals in the cashbook. These include, for example, paying a supplier, making a private withdrawal or taking cash from the cash register to deposit it into your business account. You also have to record any theft of cash or paid tips in the cashbook! No matter what the reason for withdrawing cash is, document it carefully and with receipts in your cashbook!
step by step
- In the cashbook, tap the minus symbol with the item “Cash issue”.
- Then select what type of output it is (required). For example “Delivery”.
- Enter the amount.
- Select the correct tax rate (required). For example, if you pay a supplier, you will find the tax rate on the invoice. If you are not sure which tax rate you have to take, it is best to discuss this with your tax advisor.
- You can use “Add photo” to add a photo of the delivery receipt or the invoice received (required). So you have everything documented digitally.
You can take up to three photos, which will also be recorded in the cashbook for this withdrawal in the order in which they are taken. If you are not satisfied with the three photos, cancel the removal and start again from the beginning.
And: Please still keep the original receipt carefully!
- You can use the comment field (optional) to describe in more detail why you are making this entry.
By the way: If you advance money privately, for example to quickly get rolls, you enter the date in the cashbook on which you take the money out of your cash register.
