GST paid and received

I have just moved to MYOB Business light, and have a single GST account, whereas I had GST collected, and GST paid in my previous accounting software with a header account I paid out of. Why did the conversion not set it up the same? And how can I do it now? I have a balance in my GST account currently.

    The GST Return Report shows GST Collected and GST Paid.

     

    These GST Collected and GST Paid figures on the GST Return Report would then be reviewed for correctness.

    Checks include Reconciliation to P&L/Capital Purchases.

    My GST Checklist has been shared on the MYOB Community in past years and is available on request.

     

    The net GST on the Balance Sheet is reconciled to the GST Return Report (should be the same if Non-Cash GST Reporting).

     

    I still prefer GST Collected and GST Paid on the Balance Sheet.

    Hey user113,

     

    The MYOB Business version keeps things simple so the net GST on your BAS always matches what shows in your ledger, which is why the conversion didn’t rebuild your previous structure. You can also check out the FAQs from this link for more info.

     

    Cheers,

    Doreen

    Thank you. I will leave it as is, and trust it will separate it into the correct places for the BAS.
