Novated Leasing without Flare

Hi All,

I've searched, and asked my accountant, who is awaiting a response from MYOB for this question.

How do I setup a novated lease to claim the ITC for the lease fees and have MYOB actually do what it is supposed to and help me properly account for my BAS.

Initially I setup a liability account to capture my payroll deductions and then the lease invoices. But it is NT so this made a mess of my BAS meaning I essentially did it manually as MYOB won't calculate it out appropriately. 

Essentially where I am at now is I have reported my BAS manually after journaling the GST equivalent out of the liability account. Which means I can't get MYOB to match the BAS (or I'm missing the trick) because it understates my expenses. Which I guess probably also means I can't properly allocate the payment to the ATO (but my first ever BAS, so not sure how MYOB normally deals with it)

I then thought I could setup a clearing account, but journaling between the liability and the expense clearing account doesn't seem to work either as it wants to add GST on the journal either way, so it seems I can't get it to journal the exc GST amount.

Has anyone actually solved this issue? I note a lot of questions in the last few years, with the massively unhelpful direction from MYOB to look at a page that is solely based on using Flare.

Kind Regards

Nathan
