Transport for NSW deducts a set prepayment amount for tolls during the month after the available credit in the E-Toll account reduces to a set amount. At the end of each month, Transport for NSW issues an invoice for all Prepayments deducted over the month. 

The process to record these transactions has changed from the 1st of July 2021 to the following:

E-Tolls Prepayments in the Bank Feeds

When the E-Tolls prepayment is withdrawn from the Bank Feeds during the month, simply type a note on the Bank Feeds' [Discuss] Tab.

è  The E-Toll Prepayment Transaction

Publish the Invoice from Hubdoc to Xero

Once Transport for NSW issues the invoice FGT/FGB will then forward the invoice to Hubdoc. 

  1.  Go to the Edit Document Bar in Hubdoc

    è  The E-Toll Invoice in Hubdoc



  2. Update the Hubdoc Invoice details as follows:
    • Document Type > Select: Invoice
    • Supplier > Select: Transport for NSW (E-Tolls)
    • Date > Change to the 1st of the month
    • Due Date > Change to the last day of the month
    • Total Amount & Tax Rate > Confirm the amount of the invoice and Tax Rate (GST on Expenses)
