Hi KathyH61 ,
This can be quite challenging. If the BAS was prepared earlier, the report might not match because the date reflects when it was prepared. Additionally, when running the GST Return Summary report under Reporting > BAS Reporting, note that the report is static. It populates values at the time it is generated and won't change unless it is deleted and re-created. By design, it should be generated when lodging a BAS return for a period, as it tracks any changes made in that period. These changes will be included in the adjustments for the next period.
Feel free to post again, we're happy to help!

Thanks Earl, however BAS wasn't prepared earlier and both reports were generated one after the other.
Hi I am having the same problem - both reports prepared today. The GST paid amount varies between the GST Report and GST Return Summary.
The amount of the GST Report is the correct amount both in the Brower version and desktop version but changes in the GST Return Summary ????
No Prior period adjustments
Have checked the GST codes to be included.
Any ideas??
Hi Penny_Phillips,
It's unusual for the GST report and the GST return to not match, so there could be many possible reasons for this. It might be best to run different filters for the report incrementally and compare them until you find what caused the discrepancy and start troubleshooting from there.ccc
Feel free to let us know if you need any further help with this.
Thanks,
