Every month, Bolt sends an invoice for the services provided. The invoice is a summary in which you will see your earnings, received bonuses and deducted commission for all trips of the previous month.

Invoices are generated by our system and sent to drivers within the first three days of the month. Below you will find a detailed explanation of the invoice.

Commission fee - is a fee applied to all trips you complete during the specified period;

Booking fee – is an additional booking fee that is charged when booking from the airport. This fee is added to the travel price and is paid by the passenger;

Account Balance – The top of the table shows the account balance you had at the beginning of the month, and the bottom shows the balance you have at the end of the month. If the balance is positive at the end of the month, it will be paid with the next payment (and will be added to the line Payments for the next month);

The amount of mobile payments – is the amount you received for trips that were not paid for in cash;

Compensations – the amount of compensations added to you during the specified period;

Period Bills – This is a section where you will see the amount of your applied commission and booking fee, minus any bonuses or compensation you have received;

Disbursements – the sum of all disbursements paid to you by bank transfer during the specified period;

Total – applied Bolt commission amount (equal to the amount in the Period Accounts section);

VAT – 0%.

You have to pay VAT on this amount (every month you have to pay VMI the reverse VAT on the Bolt commission, which is shown on the Total line).

Due – If this amount is 0.00, you do not owe, so no action is required. If the amount is not equal to 0.00, the missing amount should be transferred to Bolt's bank account.

Important: except for refunds of the travel price to the customer, commission and booking fee, there are no additional charges that will be deducted from your account.

At the bottom of the received monthly invoice, you usually see the line Need to pay: X.XX €. This is not the amount on which you have to pay reverse VAT to the government. This line indicates your debt to Bolt for commission. If you see €0.00 in this line, your balance is in order and the settlement with "Bolt" was successful. If you see a different amount on the line, it's possible that you had more cash trips than card trips last month and Bolt failed to automatically deduct the commission for all the trips you made. If this happens, please make a transfer to the specified bank account or contact us via vairuotojai@bolt-drivers.com or through the Driver app.
