Deductions & credits

The expenses you pay on behalf of your customers, would not be your expenses for your tax return. They are the customers rental expenses. That is more of a bookkeeping issue than a tax one.

The only income you need to report on your own return and pay taxes on, are your fees/commissions that your clients pay you. Your business expenses would be any of those incurred while conducting your business. Examples might include: 

Advertising, office expenses, licenses, rent or lease payments you make on your office, mortgage interest if you own the property, insurance, vehicle expenses, etc.
