Income for services provided

The money received by a business for services provided (also known as current income), is usually received by means of a cash register and the cash-register roll serves as record and source document. The money received can also be recorded in an invoice book and the copy of the cash invoice will then serve as source document.

The completed CRJ shows how the type of transaction is recorded. (See example 1.)

Salon Jolie’s current income for January has been obtained from the cash register roll and is as follows:

Jan. 4 R400

Jan. 10 R540

Jan. 15 R680

Use the blank cash receipts journal on the next page (CRJ 3.3) to record the cash transactions below.
