ATO payment plan

Hi 

 

I have just entered a payment plan with ATO and plan to pay a certain amount each month. When I pay a full amount I know how to enter. Can you please let me know how to enter the monthly payment amount. Thanks.

    Hi

    what I suggest you do is post a journal of the BAS transaction payment required as you normally would do

     

    the total of the payment amount will then be posted to a liability account which you can create called ATO intergrated client account 

    Eg BAS  gst col 5300 gst paid 3200 PAYG payable 8770 Total BAS = 10870. All should be N-T tax code ( all these accounts are liability accounts 2-xxxx)

    gst collected DR 5300

    gst paid                           CR 3200

    payg payable DR 8770

    ato client.                        CR 10870

    totals.            14070.            1470

     

    then when the payments are made you code them to the ato client account

     

    hope this helps

  • Hi Chezlea 

     

    Thanks for your post. Generally speaking you'd set up an Integrated client account in your software to record the amount owing and the repayments.

     

    This post has more information on Integrated client accounts, however, I'd recommend speaking to your accountant about how to set this up to ensure it's reported correctly.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.
