I have to charge my tenant back for Oil, I have paid the invoice, now I want to invoice it back to them. Do I need to record this as a sale? or other income?

HiJM Chaytor ,
Thanks for reaching out. Regarding your question about charging back utilities to your tenant and how to record this in Sage Accounting, the process is somewhat similar to charging back other types of expenses, such as the merchant fees detailed in this article you might have seen.
In your case, since you're looking to invoice your tenant for oil utilities you've paid, here's a slightly adjusted approach based on the steps for handling merchant fees:
Remember, this isn't a sale but a pass-through cost, so you might want to consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to ensure you're categorizing and handling this transaction correctly for tax purposes.
If you have any further questions or need more detailed guidance, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Warm Regards,
Erzsi
