GST reports - include or exclude gst?
I used to be able to exclude or include GST in the GST Summary reports - there was a "toggle" drop down list to choose either. But it's disappeared. I read that the ATO wants the reports to be GST...

Also, could you add a line to say what the report is - exclusive of GST or Inclusive of GST?
Hi Wynn,
That toggle on the GST Summary was definitely handy when it was still around.
To answer your question straight up:
- You can’t switch the GST Summary report between “GST inclusive” and “GST exclusive” anymore – that option’s no longer available.
- The GST Summary now always shows net amounts with GST in separate columns, and that works the same in both desktop and the browser.
- The note about using the browser GST report is only about how it splits GST between Sales and Purchases (helpful for mixed income/expense transactions) – it doesn’t give you an include/exclude GST toggle.
If you need GST‑inclusive figures, the easiest option for now is to use another report that still has an “Amounts are: Tax inclusive / Tax exclusive” setting (for example, a Sales or Profit & Loss report) and use that instead of the GST Summary.
