Swedish term or phrase: underskott tas
Hi - I'd like some help with "underskott tas" as used below. Rather than "deficits made" would "allowances" or "provisions" work. Deficits made sounds odd in the context.

Thanks for your help!

Reference: bad debt allowance, funds, charged to bad debt

Reference information:
years ago, and pobably now, part of each comercial loand was part of a system of BAD DEBT funds, at the local bank and also BAD Debt Funds at regional Federal Banks.

patriot software// Allowance method
With the allowance method, you predict that you won’t receive payment for credit sales from all your customers. As a result, you debit bad debts expense and credit allowance for doubtful accounts. When there is a bad debt, you will credit accounts receivable and debit allowance for doubtful accounts.

You can use your bad debt rate from previous years to determine the amount to set aside for your bad debt reserve. For example, last year you brought in $30,000, but you sold $40,000 worth of goods. Under the allowance method, you could predict 25% of your profits will be bad debts.

investopedia///Debt that cannot be recovered or collected from a debtor is bad debt. Under the provision or allowance method of accounting, businesses credit the "Accounts Receivable" category on the balance sheet by the amount of the uncollected debt. A debit entry for the same amount is entered into the "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" column to balance the balance sheet. This process is called writing off bad debt.

Under the direct write-off method, bad debts are expensed. The company credits the accounts receivable account on the balance sheet and debits the bad debt expense account on the income statement. Under this form of accounting, there is no "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" section on the balance sheet.

Example sentence(s):
  • Customer negative cash flow, write offs, costs or expenses servicing bad debt,,,100 ways to say you did not get paid.
  • Accountants have at least a dozen ways to avoid saying DEAD BEAT Debt, marginal profit clients, negative profit, unproductive expenses.
