Default Attention, Accountants

I have a problem with translating the Polish verb "refakturować"; it means I charge my client with exactly the same amount that I have been charged. In other words: I receive an invoice for X and I issue my invoice for X also, with no commission added.

Is it possible to use one English word to describe the a/m action?

I appreciate your help.

Regards

Imogena

In BE we would say "pass on the charge" (with the stress on the "on"). But I am not an accountant, and there may well be a special term.
