BAS reports not making sense

Hi EHAM,

Thanks for your post.

My apologies for the late response. I understand that you're having trouble reconciling the totals in your BAS reports between MYOB Online and AccountRight. We appreciate you reaching out. Let's try to clarify this. The GST report in AccountRight Desktop will look different from the browser version of the report if transactions contain both income and expenses, such as rental disbursements and recipient-created tax invoices. This is because the GST report in AccountRight is based on transaction type (for example, a bill or invoice), whereas we've improved the GST report in the browser to display transactions based on account type (income, expense, etc.).

If you record transactions that consist of both income and expenses, we recommend you use the GST report in the browser when preparing your activity statements. Whichever report you choose to use, we recommend using the same report for the entire financial year. Otherwise, it might become confusing.

You may check out this helpful article, Why the GST report in the browser is different from AccountRight desktop. It has a full, detailed explanation as well as an example computation that will give you an answer to the report differences.

Let me know if you need further assistance. We're happy to assist you further.

Otherwise, if my response has answered your inquiry, please click "Accept as Solution" to help other users find this.

Kind regards,

Shella

Hi - I am having the same difficulty.

I have discovered that the online BAS report does not include Sales Invoices where the Tax code is listed in the Exceptions report.

I had three FRE codes Invoiced on different Invoices and the Online BAS report is only picking up the one where the tax code matches the Customer tax code. The Desktop BAS report contains all three.
