How to file an EDF for a Stripe payment

English

Stripe collects from your customer and pays you. The customer is the service recipient. You still choose the service code, the same way you would for a PayPal receipt.

Charge, fee, and payout

A Stripe balance payout can bundle several charges. If you raised a separate invoice for each customer, Part 2B needs a line for each of those invoices, not one line for the bundled payout. The payout is evidence of what was credited. The dashboard Stripe template reads a balance CSV, totals the net of the charges, and leaves out payout rows so they are not counted twice.

Stripe’s fee means gross and net differ. Confirm with the bank whether the declaration follows the invoice you raised or the net credit. Stripe is the third-party payer. The overseas customer is the recipient.

The code follows the invoice

Stripe does not choose a SAC code. Software you billed is 998314. Hosting is 998315. Consulting is 998311 or 998312. Advertising is 998361. Use the code on the invoice, and keep it identical on the form.

A normal card payout is mode of realisation “other”. A letter of credit is a different collection. Do not mark a letter of credit unless you have one.

Deadline and currency

File within 30 days after the invoice month. Software cannot use the payment-date shortcut. Other services can, if the bank agrees.

Nine months applies when the export value stays in foreign currency. Twelve months applies when the invoice is in rupees or Stripe settles the payout to you in rupees. Give the signed form to the bank named on the inward receipt.
