GST - Payments or Accrual basis

Hi

I'm on Payments basis for GST but it appears the system is picking up the invoice date for GST rather than the payment date, which is how Accrual works.  I recently had an invoice that was overlooked for November and I paid it in January yet it changed my current GST return and was included in my November/December GST return.

I had to go back and change the invoice date to the payment date.  Shouldn't the system be able to identify the payment date for GST and not the invoice date.

    Hi, shoretee

     

    Thanks for your post.

     

    Regarding your concern, about cash reports, calculate the reports based on the date of payments on the invoice/bills. On the other hand, accrual reports are calculated based on the date when the invoices/bills were created. For us to further assist you with this, kindly send us the following screenshots:

     

    • The transaction that did not include both invoice/bill and payment
    • GST report
    • Any relevant information.

    Make sure to remove sensitive information before posting in the Forum.

     

    Best regards,

    In Account Right, there are 2 GST Reports - Cash and Non-Cash.

     

    I recall MYOB Business has a business setting where Cash or Non-Cash is selected.

    The GST Return in MYOB Business notates whether Cash or Non-Cash has been used.
