REIMBURSEMENT TO MYSELF AS A SOLE TRADER FOR THE EXPENSES I SPEND ON BEHALF OF BUSINESS.
Hi there, I am a sole trader, keep my books on cash basis and want to reimburse myself for the expenses I paid from my personal bank account in the previous quarter (01/01/2023 to 31/03/2023). Now in April, I want to reimburse myself for the expenses. My research and experience say I should do a spend money transaction for the expenses I paid on the dates from my personal bank account, so the BAS calculation should be correct, and then transfer the money from the Business bank account to my personal bank account.
But my confusion is if I do the spend money transantion on the dates of invoices as per the previous quarter and pay myself now in the current quarter, how the GST will work? I will get GST credit for the previous quarter or for the quarter when I am reimbursing myself?
Myob gst report shows I am getting GST credit as per the dates I am posting a spend money transatnion, not when I am reimbursing myself from bank. Please confirm if this is the correct way, any other suggestions or solutions are welcomed. Thanks in Advance. :)
