Chained Payments and PayPal

I'v question regarding PayPal chained payments. I employ freelancers (who are the secondary receivers) from different countries who provide online services to my customers. The customer should pay directly to the freelancers and also directly to me (my share). I think that chained payments are the best option because in this case the freelancer can't see the customer details and vice verse. One problem remain though, I understand that before the payment to the freelancer is done, it pass through my account. If this is the case, then the whole sum that the client paid would pass through my account and for tax reasons the whole sum is considered as my income while in fact only part of it goes to me. I have no problem with the payment to the receivers pass through me, but I don't want it to be documented as income, only the part that goes to me should be documented as income and the share of the receivers should be documented from the beginning as their share. Is it possible with this option?
