    Hi Brookebann

     

    Sounds like your GST payments and taxes are being stubborn. You’re right that ATO/GST payments shouldn’t be turning up at G11.

    In a standard setup:

    • FRE is mapped to G11, so any line coded FRE will show at G11 with GST = $0 (correct for normal GST‑free purchases).
    • N‑T is normally non‑reporting, so anything coded N‑T shouldn’t appear on the BAS at all.

    If your ATO/GST payments are showing at G11, it usually means either:

    • They’ve been coded FRE, so the payment is being treated as a GST‑free purchase, or
    • N‑T has been added to the G11 mapping in your BAS field setup, which makes a “no‑tax” code reportable.

    To keep ATO/GST payments completely off the BAS:

    1. Go to Reporting > BAS/IAS, open the BAS, and click Settings / Field setup.
    2. On G11 – Non‑capital purchases, remove N‑T (and any ATO/GST payment code) from the mapped tax codes, then save and Update from the ledger or recreate the BAS.
    3. Record ATO/GST payments using a no‑tax code that isn’t mapped to any BAS label, so they don’t appear at G10/G11 or 1A/1B.

    If it’s still being stubborn after that, have a chat with MOCA, our virtual assistant, from the Support page to get through to live chat or create a support ticket in My Account so the team can check your specific file.
